SUMMARY:Presentation: Asian String Band Music
DESCRIPTION:ASIAN STRING BAND MUSIC\nSouth Central Regional Library: Artist-in-Residence RoomTuesday\, December 16\, 2025\, 7-7:45PM\nDid 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.\nCome 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.\n‘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… )\nArtist-in-Residence RoomSouth Central Regional Library7300 Jefferson Blvd.Louisville\, KY 40219(502) 964-3515www.lfpl.org/south-central-regional-library\nAbout the COLLIDER Artist-in-Residence Programhttps://www.lfpl.org/lifelong-learning#150\nAbout Jon Silpayamanant:Born in Udon Thani\, Thailand Jon Silpayamanant is an intercultural multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, cellist\, and music educator based in the greater Louisville and Kentuckiana area.\nAs a biracial Thai American with musical families on both sides of the world\, he has been navigating musical code switching and bimusicality for much of his life and uses that experience to inform his understanding of how music ecosystems interact\, hybridize\, and create systems of exclusion.
