Javanese Music in Boston…

Gamelan Laras Tentrem and the Tufts University Gamelan Ensemble (Rinengga Sih Tentrem), directed by Barry Drummond, invite you to a concert of traditional Javanese music on Sunday, November 23rd, 3:00 pm, in Distler Performance Hall, Tufts University, Somerville/Medford Campus. Admission is free. The performance will feature guest artist I.M. Harjito, a renowned Javanese musician and composer currently on the faculty of Wesleyan University (and my personal gamelan guru for over a decade!). Currently, the groups are looking for new members to join the ensemble–there’s opportunities for adults to play and middle and high school students too. Prior Javanese gamelan experience, while welcomed, is not a prerequisite. If interested in joining please send an email to barry.drummond@tufts.edu for more information.
