Led by Artistic Director Alex Yoffe\, the nonprofit provides quality instruction\, performs world-class concerts\, and presents engaging workshops with students\, families\, and gamelan appreciators of all ages and abilities throughout the Chicago area and beyond. In the late 1970s\, a group began to meet regularly at the Field Museum to play on the same gamelan instruments from the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Eventually the instruments were archived and the ensemble acquired new instruments. \nToday’s set of instruments was acquired by FROG in the 2000s. The ensemble has performed at various stages throughout Chicago\, including Millennium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion\, the Field Museum\, Navy Pier\, and the Old Town School of Folk Music\, to name a few.
