The Youth Gamelan Ensemble at Wesleyan is directed by Joseph Getter. The ensemble was founded in 2002 by Artist in Residence I.M. Harjito. Students learn traditional music from Java, Indonesia on Wesleyan's gamelan instruments. Wesleyan owns one of the finest sets of gamelan instruments in the world, a set from Yogyakarta of mostly gong and metallophone instruments made of bronze.
Only $45 for a semester of classes plus a final performance. Register by phone at 860-685-3355 or online: https://wesleyan.universitytickets.com/w/?cid=184
