Bali & Beyond is a performing arts company inspired by the cultures of Indonesia. The artists of Bali & Beyond are proud to advance a new "chamber" style of kebyar performance.Kebyar (Keh-Byahr) is an orchestra of up to twenty five players. Instruments include bar metallophones, racks of gong chimes, drums, cymbals, and large and small gongs. The scale is one of two common five tone per octave sequences called Pelog (Peh-Log). It's intervals vary from tiny steps to large jumps, roughly half steps, whole steps, and major thirds. The repertoire is mostly for dance, but the style is distinguished musically by it's virtuosic outbursts.
