This photograph shows Master Chum Ngek teaching a TU student how to play the kong thom, a semi-circle of sixteen low-pitched gongs. Kong thom is an important instrument in the Cambodian classical music ensemble known as pin peat. It works in tandem with the roneat aik, a high-pitched, wooden xylophone with twenty-one bars, as an ensemble leader.

Come listen to Master Chum’s Fall 2026 TU ensemble on November 23, and discover how all the pin peat instruments blend together to create an enchanting and meditative percussive soundscape.
