Wesleyan Youth Gamelan Ensemble Classes
Only $30 for a semester of lessons and rehearsals. No prior experience
necessary. Your child can visit on the first day to try the gamelan—if they
like it, sign them up! The Youth Gamelan Ensemble was founded as a Center for
the Arts program in 2002 by Wesleyan Artist in Residence I.M. Harjito, who
guides the group along with University Professor of Music Sumarsam and Director
Joseph Getter. The ensemble is open to all children ages 7 to 14. The group
learns traditional music from Java, Indonesia, and rehearses Saturday mornings
from 10am to 11am. Classes conclude with a performance on Thursday, May 1, 2014
at 7:30pm. To register, please contact the Wesleyan University Box Office at
860-685-3355 or e-mail boxoffice@wesleyan.edu.
