Join us for an immersive evening of traditional gamelan music!

The NCH Gamelan Orchestra was established in 2014 after receiving the gift of a purpose-built set of gamelan instruments from Sultan Hamengkubuwono X of Yogyakarta, Java.

The orchestra’s first official concert was to perform in the NCH alongside the Royal Palace Gamelan Musicians of Yogyakarta. Since then, the ensemble has performed around Ireland, the UK and Indonesia, including such festivals as the Electric Picnic, Lúnasa, the Bray Jazz Festival, and the Yogyakarta International Arts Festival. In summer 2018 they represented Ireland at the International Gamelan Festival in Indonesia, performing a variety of traditional songs and original compositions in in several cities across Central Java.
