Minnesota Indonesia Society

Angklung Ensemble 

​

Angklung, which originally came from West Java, is a musical instrument made of a varying number of bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved to have a resonant pitch when struck and are tuned to octaves. The base of the frame is held in one hand, whilst the other hand shakes the instrument, causing a repeating note to sound. Each of three or more performers in an angklung ensemble play just one note or more, but altogether complete melodies are produced.

​

Through Minnesota Indonesia Society, you will have the opportunity to attend free Angklung classes and perform Angklung ensemble during MIS Events. 

​

MIS Angklung Ensemble is still open to new participants.
