The Office of the Arts invites adult community members to join one of our three music groups – the Orchestra, the Chorus, or the Angklung Ensemble. All three groups will begin rehearsing in early September to prepare for the Fall 2018 KAUST Ensembles Concert on Monday, October 22.
Orchestra rehearses on Monday evenings 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. in building 20, starting on Monday, September 3.
The Orchestra is made up of musicians who have experience playing an instrument. We are especially looking to attract brass and wind players and may be able to provide an instrument. If you are interested in joining with any instrument, please schedule an informal interview by contacting the Arts Office artsoffice@kaust.edu.sa.
Chorus rehearses on Tuesday evenings 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. in building 20, starting on Tuesday, September 4.
The Chorus consists of community members who have some prior knowledge of music reading and we are especially seeking male vocalists. The main objective is the enjoyment of singing in an ensemble.
Angklung Ensemble rehearses on Sunday evenings 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in building 20, starting on Sunday, September 2.
The Angklung is a traditional Indonesia musical instrument of bamboo tubes attached to a frame and shaking them creates a pitch for harmonies. All musical levels are welcome; it requires only teamwork to achieve a meaningful musical experience.
