MSUM Percussionists Study with World Renown Gamelan Instructor

The MSUM Percussion Studio, directed by Dr. Kenyon Williams, recently completed their annual fall retreat at Buffalo River State Park along with a special guest artist, Joko Sutrisno. Mr. Sutrisno, one of the foremost Indonesian gamelan instructors in the United States, worked for two days with the students in beautiful weather on the state park campgrounds as the students learned about the music and instruments of Indonesia while performing on MSUM’s own Kyai Madu Murni gamelan. Funds for this incredible experience were made available to the studio through the Student Activities Board.
