Balinese Percussion Ensemble Concert | Nov 14

[Arts Communications]

Please join us on Friday, November 14 at 7:30pm in the Humanities Theatre to experience the “soundscape of Bali” via a gamelan concert.  The Music Department presents both the student gamelan and the community gamelan in concert, playing traditional pieces on genuine Balinese percussion instruments.  There will be a chance to try out the instruments after the concert.

Gamelan (gah-muh-lan) is an Indonesian term for music ensemble. On the island of Bali, one among thousands of the Indonesian archipelago, there is a rich array of gamelan – including flute ensembles, mouth harp groups, and percussion ensembles of varying sizes and instruments, some of which feature dance and voice.

The UWaterloo Balinese Gamelan and Grebel Community Gamelan Warga Santi perform on the gamelan semara dana – an orchestra of mallet percussion instruments consisting of tuned gongs and bronze-keyed metallophones led by a double-headed drum. This evening includes classical and contemporary works, including Puspa Mekar and Sekar Ginotan.

Join us on this journey of shimmering sounds and electrifying rhythms of Bali, Indonesia!

Admission is $10 general/$5 students — tickets available at the door.
