Future students

Join the UWaterloo Balinese Gamelan and Grebel Community Gamelan Warga Santi in their celebration of 10 years of gamelan music in Waterloo, featuring a special guest artist from Bali, Indonesia, I Putu Arya Deva Suryanegara, and innovative works by renowned composer, inventor, and gong-smith, I Wayan Beratha.

Our 2024 winter term concert will feature composers who have contributed to this music’s unique history.  Influences of  Brazilian Samba,  driven Big Band Swing and the odd meter Jazz Waltz will be presented.  A few of the composers contributing this term are  Gordon Goodwin, Sammy Niehaus, Tito Puento and Quincy Jones.  

Come and join us as we journey once again into America’s Music … “Jazz”. 

Andromeda Trio was recently awarded grants from Canada Council for the Arts and the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund to commission, workshop and record a piece by Canadian composer, Karen Sunabacka, which will explore Métis-Mennonite relations in Canada, which reflects the ancestries of our ensemble.
