Gamelan is a type of traditional music from Indonesia that is built largely on tuned bronze percussion and uses unique rhythmic and melodic systems. Though an ancient tradition with well established values and practices, gamelan is still vital, under constant renewal and expansion. This ensemble is open to all Allegheny College students and community members. Although no experience is necessary, an audition is required to assess best placement within the ensemble.
