The Music Department at Conrad Grebel University College is hosting a Balinese Gamelan Ensemble.

Discover the captivating world of Balinese gamelan music, a mesmerizing ensemble of bronze and bamboo percussive instruments, which may include drums, flutes, strings, and vocals. Traditionally performed at ceremonial occasions in Bali for centuries, this ancient art form is taught by ear, as it lacks conventional notation.

The students and community members of UWaterloo Gamelan and Grebel Community invite you to join them in this unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the melodies of Bali. This concert is a wonderful chance to experience the rich cultural heritage of Bali, and it is open to the public, free of charge. Don't miss this extraordinary musical journey.
