The artists will present a colourful program of traditional Indonesian dance and musical styles from regions across their multicultural and diverse country. Representatives from the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy will accompany the performers. 

All sessions are free, open to the public, and take place in Tanna Schulich Hall (527 Sherbrooke Street West). No registration required.
