We are very excited to be partnering with Yerba Buena Gardens Festival once again—and for the first time since the pandemic! This year, Sekar Jaya will be presenting the premiere of Sudamala, a musical prayer composed by world famous musician and composer, I Dewa Putu Berata.

Sudamala is inspired by the lifelong journey of creating and maintaining harmony: between universes, communitites, and artistic genres. This performance features all new music created in collaboration with Gamelan Sekar Jaya's Spring 2022 Guest Music Director I Dewa Putu Rai, and Bay Area artists Rashidi Omari of Oakland's Destiny Arts Center, Carla Fabrizio, Peter Steele, and Joseph Paddy Sandino. Music will be accompanied by new choreography from Sekar Jaya's Spring 2022 Guest Dance Director, Emiko Saraswati Susilo, with contributions from Shoko Yamamuro, Dewa Ayu Dewi Larassanti, Casey Lee Simms, Ni Luh Andarawati and I Made Moja.

This event will be outdoors and free to the public! More information about our performance as well as a video from our 2016 performance with YBGF can be found here.
