Woww Bandung is indeed a very lively city, its art and culture which is quite unique made us extend our vacation this year, I know this Saung Udjo because of the Java Private Tour that took us to this place, Mr.Edu the travel owner helped us arrange the itinerary this year and also compiled a very interesting itinerary for things to do in Bandung, this is the first time I saw my grandmother and mother very happy and enjoying their vacation, playing music together, singing along with various nostalgic songs, all the songs were accompanied by a traditional Javanese musical instrument made of bamboo called Angklung. It's not only the music that amazed us, but the opportunity to directly mingle and experience local Javanese wisdom is something we will never forget. Thank you Saung Udjo, and thank you Java Private Tour.

We visited this place with four adults and two children under the age of five. What a treat we experienced! The program is excellent, it’s educational, funny, and very engaging. The puppet show, the kids dancing, the band, everything was perfect. We had fun learning to play Angklung and it blows my mind that one of the sons, kang Yayat (spelling) is able to get the audience to play several songs by making us follow his one hand gestures. We (to include the kids) also enjoyed the dance with the performers at the end. I highly, highly recommend a visit if you are in Bandung, this place needs more recognition than what it gets. The lady also spoke excellent English, bravo to Saung angklung Udjo for putting an excellent program.

This touristy musical show features beautiful music performed on traditional Gamelan instruments. It has something for everyone. An introduction to puppet theater, traditional dances performed by children, solo female vocalist and audience participation with instruments and dance. The seating was perfect as no view was obstructed. We're told all proceeds from tickets support local artists and youth in the community who want to learn traditional art forms with the foundation.

I went to Saung Udjo early November 08, recommended by my sister who went there the previous month.
So the 5 of us went to see the Sunday afternoon show, to my delight we saw a lot more than just Angklung Orchestra, there were dances, puppet shows, a great introduction to the West Java tradition.
The open stage was very beautiful, with the centre stage fully equipped with the Gamelan (indonesian orchestra) as well as the Angklung (bamboo instruments) orchestra.
The performers are students from Saung Angklung Udjo, they are children from the age of 2-12 years old. Most of the children, live locally from the Saung Angklung Udjo. They go to Saung Udjo to study the Angklung after school, then in the week end they hold performances. They are so cute! Full of energy and enthusiasms.
The show started with the Wayang Golek (which is the traditional puppet show). It was great, because my friend wanted to see Indonesian puppet show. A traditional West Java Topeng Dance (Mask Dance) was also on the itinerary.
The music was beautiful, and the show was very well organised. Interaction from the audience is also in order.
Ok I don't want to give away to much
But we thoroughly had a fantastic time there and would recommend everyone who's visiting Bandung to see it!

Came here with my family today (Christmas Day) for the afternoon show.Extremely appalled by how the staffs treat us international guests compared to local folks.It's ok for them to cut ques and enter the hall first,but not us international guests who like them,are walk-in customers.We were sitted according to instructions on a small sign,but later made us change seats.The staffs were not apologetic at all for all these inconveniences.In fact,they were quite rude as well.They even entertained those that had cut our que at the ticket counter.What a waste really..Sundanese and Bandung people are well known for being courteous but my trip here proved otherwise.

I found that the entrance fees is quite on the high side. IDR80,000 (RM28) for an adult and IDR50,000 (RM18) for kids btw 4-12. Most of the itineraries already explained by fellow TA but IMHO the Wayang Golek is quite long and uninspiring. This is because you couldn't understand what did they sing about. The best part is when they teach you how to play the Angklung. Perhaps for Westerners, the dancing session with the kids may be the highlight of the show.

You too can Make Music
Don’t miss this wonderful fun filled show, the children are very talented and full of fun, you’ll be introduced to the Angklung an Indonesian musical instrument made from bamboo and you too will learn to play it. The audience got fully into the show dancing and playing the music with the children, a lot of fun!!

i visited SAU for twice. First visit was totally great. The audience was great, the show was amazing and the MC's spoke in many languages. My first visit was at 3.30 pm show in Sunday, while my 2nd was the 1 pm show and it was totally different from the 1st show. the show wasn't as great as my first visit. the orchestra only play 1 song while in my 1st visit they played 5 songs. i realized this is happening because the audience in my 2nd visit mostly dominated by locals while my 1st visit dominated by foreigners. if you wanna see a great show, better take the 3.30 pm show.

This is a 'must-do' for any traveller to Bandung. The cultural show held everyday from 3.30 to 5.00 p.m. was really enjoyable and the little performers extremely talented. Audience is made to participate towards the end in learning to play the angklung and dance with the performers. Was so impressed that I ended up buying a mini angklung. An afternoon truly well spent!

hoe ver is de angklung school van de havens Semarang, Surabaya of Probolingo dit zijn de 3 plaatsen waar ik een stop heb in Java
Written December 14, 2017
Base on my experience
From Semarang port to this place 440km u need 6 hour drive, from surabaya to this place 773km u need 10 hour drive, from probolinggo to this place 862km u need 12 hour drive. If you like the overland roadtrip, and I admit it is indeed an amazing experience that is memorable, because there are many interesting places on the island of Java that you can visit, i recommend Java Private Tour, you can check on google, 2 months ago I took an overland road trip using Java Private Tour, started from Jakarta to Bali and stopped in West Java, Central Java and East Java then Bali, I stopped in this place when in West Java, this angklung performance very very interesting.
