Activities
A summary of our activities follow:
- Weekly Rehearsal is held in Emory’s Performing Arts studio building
- Twice a year we arrange for a visiting gamelan master to hold an intensive multi-day Workshop for the ensemble
- At the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters cornerstone Performances are held, usually at Emory’s Performing Arts Studio, sometimes accompanying shadow puppetry or traditional dance. As well, we enjoy performing in the community: at festivals, in religious spaces, etc.
- Some ensemble members have tied significant Academic Projects to their love of gamelan.
Weekly Rehearsal
The group follows Emory’s regular academic calendar, meeting once a week in the evening, during both the fall and spring semesters. Rehearsal time is a fun, semi-formal time to learn the music. We divide our time into two halves, with a tea break in the middle.

Academic Project
In addition to their musical training through Emory gamelan workshops and concerts, Emory Gamelan members have been able to advance their musical scholarship credentials by tying their gamelan activities with other academic projects, such as Honor Thesis, Study Abroad, and Academic Fellowships.
