Javanese Gamelan music at Dusk, Under a Fall Sky

For the very first time, Nusantara Arts steps outside of the city, inviting you to an evening of Javanese gamelan music and relaxing merriment on a private estate in Aurora, just 20 minutes from Buffalo. The Javanese gong orchestra gathers beneath a grand open-air pavilion with fields and the fall sky as a backdrop. This is a klenengan, the intimate listening tradition of central Java, playing a full cycle of music that carries the evening from dusk into the late hours, joined by incredible guest artists: singer Heni Savitri and master musician Midiyanto. It's a night paced leisurely and beautifully, so come when you want, even late, and settle in.

Add on a Javanese dinner food box and grab a drink from a local Indonesian chefs to make it a full night out. Part concert, part gathering, totally unhurried, and a beautiful way to spend an evening in fall.

Discounted tickets are available as part of our 26-27 Season Pass
