The Spring 2018 Gamelan Concert features traditional and experimental compositions. You will get a taste of the range of moods that can be created from the bronze percussive instruments of Bali, Indonesia. Under the direction of artist-in-residence, Dewa Suparta, on kendang (Balinese drum), the gamelan musicians realize repertoire from the classical Gamelan Semar Pegulingnan style characterized by a delicate and sweet mood, and the majestic Gamelan Gong Gde style arranged for a selection of gong kebyar instruments. A highlight of the concert will be an experimental work composed by the musicians using gamelan instruments and more familiar instruments such as guitar, and violin.
