Aga Ujma is a London-based Polish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She is also a professional gamelan musician and a member of the Southbank Gamelan Players. In recent years she had the opportunity to learn Javanese gamelan music and Sasando supported by the Dharma Siswa scholarship offered by the Indonesian government.
Throughout the evening, they will be performing traditional Javanese pieces, which are common pieces nowadays in traditional performances on the island, as well as exploring the distinctive sounds and timbres produced by combining gamelan and Western instruments.
