The event explored the transformation of the Angklung - from its idiophonic, diatonic origins to its reimagining as a chromatic instrument in classical performance. It also delved into its tonal structure, tuning systems, and role in global music innovation. A landmark experience for music scholars, educators, and artists - it marked a moment in musical history not to be forgotten.
