Did you know that Asia has string band traditions? When we think about string bands the image that comes to mind are old-time or jazz ensembles made up mainly or solely of string instruments that were especially popular in the 1920s and 1930s but have been making a comeback. Some of the oldest Asian string bands, like kronchong in Indonesia and rondalya in the Philippines, date back to the early colonial period in the 1600s.

Come hear and see a wide variety of Asian String Band ensembles and genres in this presentation by Jon Silpayamanant. Jon will talk about some of the string band music that Saw Peep Pan-Asian Ensemble performes and demonstrate some instruments from his personal collection which he uses in performances with Saw Peep. In the presentation, you will also get a glimpse of the string band world created by generations of Asian immigrants in the US.

'Asian String Band Music' is Free and open to all ages and is part of the Saw Peep Pan-Asian Ensemble's COLLIDER Residency at the South Central Regional Library and will take place in the Artist-in-Residence Room (No. 7 on this map of the library: https://www.sawpeep.com/southcentralregionallibrary-floorplan )
