Bow Gamelan Ensemble

Bow Gamelan Ensemble

The Bow Gamelan Ensemble were a group of musicians in Bow, London UK who used elements of gamelan music. Formed in 1983 by Richard Wilson with Paul Burwell and Anne Bean, the group was disbanded in 1990. The ensemble created a theatrical experience, going beyond the normal definitions of music, and adapted their performances to the environment. They performed at Three Mills on the River Lea and many other novel venues.
