Come and hit a gong!
Hear Gamelan Padhang Moncar perform a traditional Javanese piece, showcasing the two different tuning systems. Then, you have a chance to ask questions about the music and get hands-on. You will learn basic technique, to play a simple piece and learn more about how the music works, by moving around the ensemble and trying a range of instruments - including those gongs!.
Refreshments included.
