Through the Angklung Hamburg Orchestra (AHO), these students have brought the traditional music of their culture to a wider audience, with a mission to promote the beauty of the Angklung to German residents. Comprising of around 25 members from diverse backgrounds, ranging from elementary school children to professionals, the AHO is more than just a musical ensemble - it is a testament to the power of cultural preservation through art. The Angklung may be an ancient instrument, but in the hands of the AHO, it becomes a beacon of cultural preservation and artistic expression.
