Call for musicians for the KAUST Ensembles Concert

The Office of the Arts invites adult community members to join one of our three music groups – the Angklung Ensemble, Orchestra or Chorus. All three groups will begin rehearsing in late January to prepare for the Spring 2019 KAUST Ensembles Concert on Monday, March 18.

The Angklung Ensemble rehearses on Sunday evenings from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in building 20, starting on Sunday, January 27.

The angklung is a traditional Indonesian musical instrument made of bamboo tubes, each with a different pitch, that are attached to a frame. A complete song with harmonies is created by shaking the tubes together. All musical levels, including beginners, are welcome.

The Orchestra rehearses on Monday evenings from 6:15 to 8:00 p.m. in building 20, starting on Monday, January 28.

The Orchestra is made up of individuals with previous experience in playing an instrument and we are especially seeking wind and brass players. In some cases we can provide an instrument for your use. If you are interested with any instrument, contact the Arts Office to schedule an informal interview at artsoffice@kaust.edu.sa.

The Chorus rehearses on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in building 20, starting on Tuesday, January 29.

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.

For more information about the Angklung Ensemble, Orchestra or Chorus, please contact the Arts Office at artsoffice@kaust.edu.sa.
