The Marymount Institute presents

Community Workshops for Balinese Gamelan — An Open Invitation

With Prof. Paul Humphreys (emeritus) and Prof. Divine Gbagbo, Department of Music, College of Communication & Fine Arts

The Marymount Institute for Faith, Culture, and the Arts invites faculty, staff, and students to experience Balinese gamelan, first-hand. With instruments created in the workshop of a master instrument maker in the Gianyar region of Bali and currently on loan to the Institute from the Department of Music, these sessions are open to all members of the LMU community.

Gamelan-playing is an integral aspect of community life throughout Bali. Participation is a process through which details of rhythm, melody and form are “brought into the heart.”  Inspired by this process, as well as by the beauty of the music and the instruments themselves, this evolving tradition flourishes today in schools and communities both inside and outside of Bali. LMU is fortunate to be among these.

Please join us in the celebration of music-as-community that is Balinese gamelan. All are welcome. Please sign up for sessions at the following link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/9kkn2UuBLA.
