Back to work! Day 3 of learning “Selisir” and working on our technique with some kotekan! What a fantastic, focused, and hard working group we have this year! #bali #indonesia #gamelan #kebyar #gongkebyar #selisir #bapangselisir #community #mitmta #mit #afterschool #instagram #youthprogram #arts #musiced

Back on stage for the first time in 2 years and it feels so good! So many older faces in this group and such a solid performance tonight. We can’t wait to share more pictures and video from the concert. #gamelan #bali #indonesia #mit

"Bapang Selisir" is a traditional welcome dance. This performance features student dancers, dancing for the very first time. Many thanks to the #cambridgepubliclibrary for hosting us back in January 2020 and giving us the opportunity to perform in front of a new audience in this lovely space.

After a long hiatus, the Cambridge Youth Gamelan is back in action with our first summer session in 2 years! We are halfway through and having a blast. These wonderful students, ages 8-15, are playing, learning, and diving right in with some #gongkebyar repertoire.

Today marks the 4th anniversary of our very first summer workshop! Hard to think that was only 4 years ago. And this fall will mark the beginning of our 5th season. Despite the ongoing pandemic, we will find a way to make music together this year and continue learning with our incredible #community of musicians! #gamelan #bali #indonesia #mit #mitmta #cambridgema #boston #youthgamelan #youthprograms

#tbt to just about youth gamelan rehearsal where the most important order of business before rehearsal can start is “snack” - and even now, in times of pandemic - we meet weekly on Zoom to eat snacks, share riddles, and laugh together. The group that eats together, stays together. #gamelan #bali #indonesia #snacktime

#tbt one of our last rehearsals before stay at home took effect. Looking forward to when we can play #gamelan together again! #stayathome #dirumahaja #sehatsehat #indonesia #baliindonesia

Even though we have had to suspend our program until further notice, we plan to continue post moments like these - that “aha” moment in #gamelan - when you finally figure it out. Thank goodness for open hearts, open minds, and kind teachers ❤️ Stay safe out there everyone! The #cambridge #youth gamelan will be back in action soon enough
