The Music Between: Open Rehearsal at La Mama Theatre with Gamelan DanAnda

Gamelan DanAnda will conduct an open rehearsal of Balinese Gamelan Gong Kebyar repertoire in the forecourt of La Mama. The rehearsal will demonstrate a range of characteristic Balinese gamelan techniques including interlocking patterns between locked-in musicians, and instruments perfectly tuned to create ‘ombak/waves’ that create its shimmering textures.
