Discover performances, workshops, and educational programs dedicated to preserving and sharing the beauty of traditional Indonesian music.
The Angklung is made of bamboo and played by shaking. Each instrument produces just one note, so a full melody can only be played when multiple players work together in harmony — making it a deeply collaborative musical experience.
The Angklung was recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This designation highlights the instrument’s cultural importance and its role in preserving traditional Indonesian music.

A voice of bamboo—resonating across cultures, generations, and communities. With support from the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in San Francisco.
