And finally, we’ll leave you with photos from a recent performance by the Javanese Gamelan Ensemble of The Indonesian Embassy led by conductor Pak Muryanto at The Walters Art Museum. The songs performed date as far back as 230 A.D. and consisted of percussion instruments including Kedhang drums and a chorus of traditionally dressed Indonesian women who sang and clapped along.
