Angklung & Kulintang Ensemble

About

The aim of the Angklung and Kulintang Ensemble is to promote music appreciation through the playing of two Traditional Malay instruments — the Angklung and Kulintang — which originate from Southeast Asia.

During CCA sessions, members learn the technical skills of playing the Angklung or Kulintang and acquire a theoretical foundation in music. Though these training sessions, we also cultivate discipline and patience among our members, allowing them to become skillful in playing music.

Our CCA members have the experience to collaborate with other performing arts group during this year 30th Anniversary Prize Conferment Ceremony. The angklung’s versatility and adaptability make it an ideal instrument for collaboration. This innovative collaboration has the potential to create captivating performances, blending the angklung’s gentle tones with the dynamic beats of other performing groups’ instruments. It showcases the beauty of cultural fusion and the boundless possibilities of musical expression.

‘During the CCA sessions, I have learnt how to work effectively as a team. Angklung is all about teamwork so being in this CCA has taught me how to be patient and how to work together with my peers. One memorable experience I had was during the JVS 30th Anniversary Prize Conferment Ceremony.
