NYC DEBUT
Peni Candra Rini, PhD, is a renowned Javanese singer, educator, and composer, known for blending Javanese Sufi poetry with contemporary music for both Indonesian and Western instruments. Jiwa Kala is a one-hour multidisciplinary performance that blurs the lines between a music concert, ritual, and ecological reflection. By integrating experimental music, dance, shadow theatre, and film, this performance offers an immersive experience that encourages the audience to experience the climate crisis rather than just understand it.
Joining Peni on stage for this remarkable performance will be musician, ethnomusicologist, and professor Andy McGraw, along with multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Shahzad Ismaily.
The ORIGINS series features artists who delve into the folklore and roots of their cultures’ music to tell the story of their origins, preserving and affirming cultural identities and legacies.
