Sound.
Love.
Family.

We are the Gong Orchestra. A collective of players from different countries, backgrounds, and experiences, united by one passion. We come together to celebrate the pure joy of life through sound and love.

Diversity is our strength. Unity is our power.

Gong Orchestra · Ozora Festival 2026

The Gong Orchestra brings together different lineages, instruments and sensibilities. Through gongs, voice, silence and intention, the collective offers both intimate experiences and a powerful main-stage ceremony.

Each member contributes their own way of listening: sound healing, meditation, performance, ritual space, movement, painting, technical care and the simple joy of being together.

Get ready for a sacred moment of silence and grounding. In the heart of the festival, we step out of the noise and let the ancient vibrations flow through us—connecting every soul, heart and Mother Earth.
