Here are some things that people have said about Sumunar performances:
"Thank you so much for giving our school the gift of Gamelan. I have never experienced something like that before. I do hope that someday I can play Gamelan again. I love the sound of all the instruments... But my point is, Thank you so, so, so, so, so much!"
"Thanks for letting me hit the big gong. It was awesome"
“This was my first time hearing this kind of music - I really liked the dissonance of some of the intervals and the dreamy surreal mood evoked by the pieces.”
"Thank you for teaching me a different culture of dance. The music was neat, too"
