Sumunar performed at Caponi Art Park in Eagan, MN on Sunday, July 24. The park is a wonderful outdoor venue in a beautifully landscaped, 60-acre sculpture garden with many delightful works of art displayed in a charming landscape. The Theater in the Woods features a circular stage in the middle of a natural amphitheater surrounded by majestic oaks and grassy slopes. Families enjoyed picnic suppers and children rolled down the hills or danced along with a wonderful evening of Indonesian music and dance.
A production crew from Community Access Cable Channel 15 was present to record the concert. Watch for their broadcast in Roseville, Bloomington and Eagan.
