Gamelan Genta Kasturi, Kansas City’s community Semaradana gamelan ensemble, is one of the 2013-14 Charlotte Street Urban Culture Project Studio Residents. The group has brought a guest artist from Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Denpasar, Bali, I Made Kartawan, to tune our gamelan instruments and teach the ensemble.
