An afternoon of meditation and wonder immersed in the sounds of gamelan bells and gongs.

The program includes short performances and instrument petting zoo where guests will have an opportunity to play the gongs and bells. The event begins with quiet, long form minimalist pieces by Peni Candra Rini, and then shift slowly to more animated traditional repertoire.

Gamelan Raga Kusuma is a community gamelan based in Richmond Virginia. It is directed by Andy McGraw, Professor of Music at the University of Richmond, and was co-founded in 2006 with I Gusti Sudarta, faculty at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts. In 2015 members of the ensemble founded Orkes Keroncong Rumput (www.rumput.org) which studies Indonesian stringband music. Both ensembles study traditional repertoire and work with Indonesian collaborators to create new works.

With only 100 seats, shows at Révéler are intimate and immersive. A romantic venue with exquisite sound and dreamy vibes, Révéler offers a unique selection of cocktails, wines, beers, bubbles, and non-alcoholic beverages. Our kitchen delivers small plates crafted with care.
