Gamelan Sleeping Fox, a four-tone gamelan angklung on loan from Margaret Williamson of the Dartmouth Classics Department, is a beautifully made ensemble of instruments from the Indonesian island of Bali. The concert will include a composition by the director written to welcome the instruments, along with classical angklung pieces, including one taught by visiting Balinese artists earlier in the term. The closing presentation will be the choral form "kecak," part of the popular presentation in Bali of the Hindu epic the Ramayana; the audience will also be invited to join the students in a reprise.

The gamelan program is open to all members of the Dartmouth community; contact jody.diamond@dartmouth.edu for more information.

Performance is free and open to the public.
