We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with composer, Joel Mellin on a new piece for gamelan semara dana and dance thanks to the Jerome Fund for New Music & Emerging Artists. Joel is one of ten composers to receive this year’s fund and we couldn’t be happier for our friend and fellow gamelan brother. This will not be our first foray in the world of Mellin compositions - ‘Synesthesia’ featured in Gamelan Dharma Swara’s performance repertoire in previous seasons. Needless to say, we are extremely excited to work on this new venture and look forward to presenting it to the world.
