Emerald City Music: Insipred by Gamelan

Emerald City Music presents eclectic music in an intimate, open bar setting. This month: Inspired by Gamelan.

Composers over the centuries found inspiration in folk music from around the world, and in the late 20th century, many composers found their influence in gamelan music from Indonesia. We're proud to bring you an experience of the Balinese gamelan, alongside three chamber music works that transform the indelible instrument into each composer's own style and setting. Debussy paints with its harmonic color palette and common melodic shapes. Steve Reich lives within its rhythmic systems and poignant expression through repeated figures, while Lou Harrison captures its overall textures and tells an evocative story through the sense of gamelan's coordinated interlocking parts. Come be transported by the gamelan in both its urtext and re-textualization.
