Indonesian Gamelan: Reception and Unveiling



The Gamelan is here! The instruments will be unveiled at a special ceremony in the Acadia Art Gallery on Friday, November 21st at 7pm. These custom-built instruments were forged in the workshop of Pak Tentrem, on the island of Java, in the summer of 2008. The Gamelan will be on display in the art gallery until November 28th when the instruments will officially take up residence in the School of Music.

Special thanks to Ken Shorley and Heidi Kalyani for acquiring these instruments!
