Description:
The gamelan ensemble presented a repertoire of traditional music, featuring two classical dances from the courts of Surakarta City, Indonesia performed by two members of the group.
The first dance was Gambyong Pareanom, a welcoming dance from the Keraton Kasunanan performed at Javanese weddings, parties, and official functions. The second dance originated in Mangkunegaran and depicted a refined Javanese prince preparing himself to meet his fiancé.
