Sari,gamelan Yowana - Gamelan Yowana Sari - Music CD

Since forming in 2011, Gamelan Yowana Sari has been a performing Balinese Art Ensemble in residence at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, NYC. Under the direction of Michael Lipsey and Fred Trumpy, Yowana Sari have toured Bali multiple times, studying and performing under the master composer and musician I Dewa Ketut Alit in Pengosekan, Bali. In 2024, the group commissioned new works from Michael Gordon and Evan Ziporyn, which were performed alongside compositions by Dewa Ketut Alit, Vivian Fung, and Kyle Miller at Bang on a Can's Long Play Festival and MASS MoCA Summer Music Festival. Following these concerts, the ensemble returned to Bali to study and perform with Dewa Alit's Gamelan Salukat, as well as to record this album at the famed Wiswakarma Museum.
