Toby Smith, Director of Performance & Programming commented:
'Ever since our gamelan arrived from Indonesia, we’ve wanted to present a weekend that features the widest range of performances, from Javanese song and dance to shadow puppetry, alongside a programme of hands-on workshops designed for everybody – and that’s what lies at the heart of this first RNCM Gamelan Weekend – an unashamed celebration of the intimate beauty and exuberant energy of these remarkable instruments
