You may be lucky and just come across a temple celebration in the Sanur area, they always have a gamelan playing.
Most dance performances are accompanied by an orchestra but unfortunately they are all mostly at night. In Ubud there are performances everynight at the palace with some of the best groups playing.
Also if you ask around you may find a group rehearsing but again that's usually in the evening after work.
But I'm sure one of the performances put on at one of the larger hotels will feature a good group.
If your keen you will always find gamelan music because it is everywhere in Bali. the air sings with it
