The Gamelan is back!
The North Columbia Schoolhouse is excited to present Sekar Jaya on Saturday May 25, 2024!
California’s Gamelan Sekar Jaya, known internationally as the finest Balinese gamelan outside of Indonesia, is bringing the sights and sounds of Bali to Nevada City! Join us for a night of cultural immersion amidst the picturesque natural beauty of the Schoolhouse . This performance features three musical ensembles – the energetic bamboo Jegog, delicate four-tone Angklung, and the magnificent bronze Gong Kebyar, Sekar Jaya’s flagship ensemble. Each ensemble is complemented by Sekar Jaya’s Balinese dance ensemble, performing a wide variety of genres. Under the direction of esteemed Guest Music Director Ni Nyoman Srayamurtikanti, Jegog Director I Gede Oka Artha Negara, and Guest Dance Director I Made Suteja, Gamelan Sekar Jaya presents an unforgettable evening blending tradition and innovation beneath the North Columbia trees…

Sierra Storytelling Festival
June 28th & 29th, 2024
Storytellers are masters of many arts. They command the stage, like a Broadway actor; they orchestrate words into suspenseful tales like a bestselling author; and they are your favorite therapist who shares just what you need to hear.
The tellers at the 2024 Sierra Storytelling Festival are all such masters of their ancient craft. Comedians, musicians, authors, voice-over artists, teachers: they each bring the best of their skill to create unforgettable tales at the unforgettable Sierra Storytelling Festival.
