Gamelan Giri Parwata, performs traditional and contemporary works for gamelan selonding, a special style of Balinese gamelan music using iron instruments, instead of the more common bronze. Gamelan selonding is an ancient form of Balinese music that has enjoyed a recent resurgence among artists in Bali, Indonesia.Â
Padayon Cultural is the performance ensemble of the Filipino-American Community of Colorado (or, FACC). The FACC is a 100% Volunteer run non-profit organization that was originally established in 1954 as The Filipino Club of the Rockies. In 1988, they acquired the Lakewood property and became The Filipino-American Community of Colorado, where they are now striving to create a sense of family and tradition through preserving Filipino-American culture.​
Gamelan Tunas Mekar is a community ensemble under the direction of Balinese composer and Artist-in-Residence I Made Lasmawan and family. The group presents traditional and new music and dance for Balinese gamelan at music festivals, schools, private events, local venues, specially produced concerts, and by special invitation both internationally and nationally. Modeled after typical village groups found throughout Bali, and learning by traditional methods, this community ensemble provides American audiences the rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s most fascinating cultures.
