It's happening this week, so hurry grab your tickets now!

If you're wondering what kinda performance is this, lemme just explain a bit about it in my own words. So basically, it's a music performance with the main focus on contemporary gamelan music. What is contemporary gamelan? I'm sure you've heard the word gamelan before. It's a traditional music ensemble that is originally played at the palace (long time ago) but now is commonly heard during local university graduation day. Rhythm in Bronze (RiB) has taken a different direction with the gamelan and play contemporary compositions written for the gamelan.

For this concert, you will not only see a bunch of musician playing the instruments. There will be dance, visual art, stories and others elements of performing arts hence it's called gamelan theater production. We will be collaborating with some of outstanding local musicians namely, Batteryheadz Percussion, bassist Zailan Razak, singer-songwriter Reza Salleh (I know girls, drool) and many others. So it's definitely a performance not to miss. Grab your tickets now!
