- EVENT INFORMATION -

Join us at 3pm Sunday, 25th May, at the Balmain Town Hall.

The Sydney Guitar Collective once again returns bigger and better, collaborating with Suwitra Jaya Gamelan (Directed by Dr Manolete Mora) for a well crafted evening of east and west fusion! Experience a blend of classical guitar with modern Balinese Gamelan as 7 exceptional guitarists share the stage with Suwitra Jaya’s talented musicians.

Guitar strings meet suspended gongs in this innovative concert, where the intricate interlocking patterns (kotekan) of Balinese gamelan interweave with the harmonic complexity of classical guitar. The performance features the works of renowned international guitarists William Kanengiser (USA) and I Wayan Balawan (Indonesia), a new work by emerging Sydney composer Eitan Muir, as well as the music of the virtuosic Balinese composer and multi-instrumentalist I Gusti Ngurah Adi Putra (Indonesia), reimagined for guitars and gamelan in new arrangements.

Co-produced by Dr Janet Agostino (Artistic Director, Sydney Guitar Collective), Dr Manolete Mora (Director, Suwitra Jaya Gamelan) and Tobias Dracoulis, East-West Resonance pays homage to the tradition of cross-cultural musical dialogue, and invites us to reflect: How do these cross-cultural compositions deepen our understanding of each other's musical heritage, and what new possibilities for artistic expression might emerge from this ongoing dialogue?
