Gamelan sounds Sekar Petak, sound of individual percussive instruments
Gamelan Sekar Petak first assembled at the University of York in 1981. The orchestra of gongs and metallophones (as well as other instruments) originates from the islands of Bali and Java and was named "Sekar Petak" ("white rose") in honour of York's white flower symbol. The ensemble is the first purpose-built gamelan in a British university, and often serves an educational role in the department as well as in schools in the York community. The group has toured the country extensively and made appearances for children's programmes on BBC TV and ITV.
