The Eastman School of Music’s Barbara B. Smith World Music Series presents Gamelan, with directors Ken Luk and I Nyoman Suadin. Admission is free and open to the public. Recommended for ages 6 and above.
Gamelan at Eastman, as in Bali, is a communal effort. Members include Eastman students, faculty, and staff, as well as many members of the Rochester community. The music is learned through the oral/aural tradition without the use of notation, and therefore requires the players to work together closely for long periods of time. The result is a sense of group unity and pride as the audience hears the music and witnesses the collective efforts of the ensemble.
The World Music Series is sponsored by a generous gift from Barbara B. Smith.
