Craig has performed all over the world, including performing for prestigious dignitaries such as The Royal Family, The Dalai Lama, and First Lady Michelle Obama. He has also performed onstage with acts including Queen + Adam Lambert, Rudimental, and the Bay City Rollers.

Make sure to come see Setan Jawa: Silent Film/Live Music, Friday, April 10, at 7pm, a silent film with live score created by Peni Candra Rini.
Garn Nugroho’s Setan Jawa evokes Javanese mythology through the genre of contemporary horror as inspired by the perennial silent film classic, Nosferatu by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau.  The film explores Indonesia’s pre-orthodox Islamic stories of the seven deals man makes with the devil in order to gain wealth and the live score dramatically underpins the mysticism and sensuality of Nugroho’s tale of love and sacrifice.
