Award-winning contemporary gamelan outfit Rhythm In Bronze is rolling out a beginners workshop series at its studio this weekend in Petaling Jaya. At these (two-day, 9am-1pm) sessions, not only do you get to play a full contemporary gamelan piece on different gamelan instruments, but you will also learn how to connect with yourself and others.

Rhythm In Bronze's team of skilled performers and music teachers will be on hand to guide newcomers, who will be introduced to the gamelan's rich tapestry of rhythms, melodies, and harmonies.
