Indonesian Angklung and Dance Performance

Ah: the angklung! This Sundanese percussion instrument is formed by carving multiple bamboo tubes, which, after being attached to a frame, produce a particular pitch when struck. Each instrument is carved for one specific pitch, so often players form angklung ensembles in order to play multiple pitches. As AANHPI Heritage Month comes to a close, Indonesian cultural society Rumah Budaya Indonesia di Austin brings the instrument to the library where not only will you be able to enjoy the music that once honored rice goddess Dewi Sri but also take in traditional dance. – James Scott
