MIT Gamelan Galak Tika

MIT's gamelan presents a short outdoor performance of highlights from Galak Tika's 7:30pm concert the same evening as part of the MIT Open House.  They will also demonstrate how to play gamelan instruments in a fun, hands-on, and interactive workshop.  No prior musical experience necessary. Come try something, new, fun, and exciting! The bright, percussive sounds of Indonesian gamelan orchestras reverberate throughout Southeast Asia, especially on the islands of Java and Bali.  In Bali, gamelan ensembles provide a musical offering for close to 10,000 ceremonies throughout the year.
