Peni Candra Rini: New music from Java at Gallery5
April 14, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$8
Renowned Indonesian singer Peni Candra Rini presents a concert of new music from Java, ranging from new works for traditional instruments to avant-rock compositions from her new album produced by members of Deerhoof. Peni will be supported by Balinese master musician Gusti Sudarta and local Richmond musicians.
In addition to our traditional keroncong repertoire this show will premiere two new ensembles performing experimental music from Java: an electric keroncong group that incorporates elements of surf-rock, noise, and metal, and a new percussion ensemble playing groove-oriented accompaniment on a hybrid set of gamelan & western drum kit.
This is our only confirmed gig featuring the full range of this repertoire in Richmond before we head off to DC, Baltimore, and NYC, so don’t miss it!
Early show — doors at 6!
Compositions by Peni Candra Rini, I Wayan Sadra, Danis Sugiyanto, Zoel Mistortoify, and Andy McGraw.
