Singa Nglaras Gamelan Ensemble

Facebook | Instagram

Singa Nglaras is a gamelan ensemble formed in 2004 and managed by Dr Jan Mrázek from the NUS Department of Southeast Asian Studies. Its members include NUS students, alumni, faculty and members of the public. Their name Singa Nglaras, meaning “relaxing lion”, reflects both relaxation and harmony, aligning with their focus on the relaxed enjoyment and appreciation of gamelan music. While valuing a calm approach, they also believe in deeper engagement with the complex meanings behind their music.
