Balinese Chamber Gamelan: Gender Wayang

Balinese Chamber Gamelan: Gender Wayang meets at different times throughout the 12-week term depending on the schedule of members. Directed by Artist-in-Residence I Dewa Made Suparta.

Description: The ensemble comprises a pair or quartet of ten-key metallophones. Two mallets are used to execute independent left and right hand parts. Gender (pronounced gen’de(ə)r) wayang is considered the most complex, technically difficult, and highly regarded music in Bali. End-of-term performances will be held with the large gamelan ensemble.
