Gamelan Kembang Telang

Based in Vancouver, Gamelan Kembang Telang performs traditional and contemporary Balinese gamelan music. The group’s small ensemble format showcases some of the most compact and innovative forms of gamelan; music that reveals beautiful and complex patterns that fit together like an intricate musical jigsaw puzzle. Contemporary works by Ryan Swaryandana and I Made Subandi showcase bold new directions in techniques and styles. The ensemble’s name refers to the blossoming of the blue telang flower, a vibrant and medicinal plant which adorned the gamelan studio of I Made Subandi, the group’s late mentor.
