The University of Leeds Gamelan Ensemble will perform a collection of tradition music, contemporary repertoire and new pieces on the School of Music’s Javanese Gamelan. This set of bronze gongs and metallophones, named The Golden Thread in reference to Leeds’ strong connections with the textile industry, was hand-crafted in the court city of Surakarta in Central Java 23 years ago. The ensemble is directed by Ángel Cataño Flores.
