SF’s Yerba Buena Gardens Festival 2025
The 2025 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival hosts a full lineup of free outdoor music, theater, circus, dance, poetry, and children’s programs. The Festival opens on Saturday, May 10, 2025 with La Santa Cecilia to kick off its 25th Anniversary Season.
Gamelan Sekar Jaya, led by master artists from Bali including renowned composer I Made Subandi and legendary dancer Ni Ketut Arini, performs traditional and newly created works on three distinct gamelan ensembles: the brilliantly dynamic five-toned bronze gamelan gong kebyar; the stormy and virtuosic gender wayang batel ensemble of which Subandi is a master, and the rare and energetic ensemble of gigantic bamboo marimbas, gamelan jegog.
They will be joined by Sekar Jaya’s dancers, who articulate the music with the refined movement and tempestuous drama of Balinese dance. The 65-member company of musicians and dancers specializes in the performing arts of Bali, Indonesia.
