Lincoln City, OR – Gamelan Sari Pandhawa, a non-profit cultural organization based in Eugene, Oregon, will give a special performance at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on March 16, 2025. For this show, the artists will be playing on bamboo instruments from the island of Bali. In addition to the music, the musicians will offer an engaging discussion, along with a presentation and slideshow about the history and cultural significance of Balinese Rindik music. Adults and students are invited to attend this free Sunday afternoon event.

The ensemble will feature the tingklik, a bamboo xylophone, and angklung, a set of tuned bamboo rattles, combined with a suling (a Balinese bamboo flute) creating the signature interlocking rhythms of Balinese Rindik music. Adding a contemporary twist, the performance will also include a saxophone, merging traditional melodies with a global fusion sound.

This special performance is part of the Cultural Center’s new Voyages series, supported by Explore Lincoln City and the Creative West (formerly WESTAF) grant program. Admission is free, donations will be accepted at the door.
