Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Sam-Ang Sam (1950-), from Pursat Province, Cambodia, is an ethnomusicologist, teacher, researcher, and performance artist. Sam-Ang earned a BA and an MA in composition and later a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. Sam-Ang Sam and his wife, performing artist, Chan Moly Sam, fled to the United States in response to the Khmer Rouge of the 1970s. In 1986, they formed the Apsara Ensemble, to help keep their heritage a living part of Cambodian life in the US. It remains the country's premier Cambodian performing-arts ensemble. In addition to the Apsara Ensemble, he founded the Sam-Ang Sam Ensemble, which he has used as a platform to help revive Classical Khmer music and increase public interest in Cambodian performing arts throughout the world.
