Note from Providence musician, Zachary Hazen:
“This concert is an opportunity to combine the two types of music I love most into one night of music.

Note from Providence musician, Zachary Hazen:
“This concert is an opportunity to combine the two types of music I love most into one night of music. I have been a classical string player as long as I can remember, but I fell in love with Balinese gamelan while living in Oakland, California, and have been lucky enough to travel to Bali a number of times to study the music intensively. Over the summer I was playing a traditional piece on Gender Wayang from the village of Tunjuk, when a friend joined in on violin, reinforcing the left hand melody. The meeting of these two worlds was so beautiful and complemented each other so naturally that I wanted to explore it further, composing new music which combines the things I love most about classical western music and classical/contemporary Balinese music.”
Featuring a world premiere by composer I Putu Arya Deva Suryanegara, from Denpasar, Bali, and in collaboration with Gamelan Kura – Kura Emas, this concert will combine traditional pieces reimagined with strings, as well as new contemporary music for Gamelan and strings. Doors open at 7:30, 10$ Suggested Donation at the Door.
​Performers will include:
Ashley Frith- Viola
Kimberly Fang- Violin
Zan Berry- Cello
Zachary Hazen- Viola/Violin/ Gender Wayang
