Seruan Setu – The Secret Gardens of the Sea

Experience an enchanting musical journey that spotlights Malaysia's endangered seagrass ecosystems through the magic of the performing arts. Seagrasses are vital to both marine life and coastal communities, yet their rapid decline is often overlooked.

Our talented team of artists is inspired to create culturally significant works that reveal the charm of seagrass in engaging, emotional and thought-provoking ways.

Join us for an unforgettable experience that combines art, culture and conservation to provide a deeper understanding of the wonders of the seagrass through Malalysia contemporary gamelan. Be inspired by the power of music and storytelling, and take action to preserve our precious natural heritage.
