Gamelan and American academic institutions have maintained their
close association for more than sixty years. Elizabeth A.
Clendinning illuminates what it means to devote one's life to world
music ensemble education by examining the career and community
surrounding the Balinese-American performer and teacher I Made
Lasmawan. Weaving together stories of Indonesian and American
practitioners, colleagues, and friends, Clendinning shows the
impact of academic world music ensembles on the local and
transnational communities devoted to education and the performing
arts. While arguing for the importance of such ensembles,
Clendinning also spotlights how performers and educators use them
to create stable and rewarding artistic communities. Cross-cultural
ensemble education emerges as a worthy goal for students and
teachers alike, particularly at a time when people around the world
express more enthusiasm about raising walls to keep others out
rather than building bridges to invite them in.
