Gamelan in Yogyakarta

In Yogyakarta, gamelan music together with traditional Javanese dance is one of the most important pillars of local culture. It is not only entertainment, but also a ritual and spiritual art form that is deeply connected to the Sultan’s court and the daily life of the city.

The music is used for:
court ceremonies in the Kraton (Sultan’s Palace)
wayang kulit (shadow puppetry)
dance performances
ritual and social events
