The Spring 2011 session of the Youth Gamelan at Wesleyan will begin on Saturday, January 29. Rehearsals are held on Saturday mornings from 10-11am on the campus of Wesleyan University, in the World Music Hall, Wyllys Ave., Middletown CT. We will conclude the semester with a performance on the evening of Thursday, April 23, together with Wesleyan student gamelan groups (free admission).
The group is open to all ages 7 and up, no prior musical experience is needed. Registration is required; please contact Kirsten Olson at the University Box Office, tel 860-685-3310, email kolson@wesleyan.edu. Call soon, since space is limited.
Kids may try playing the instruments on the first day, and then sign up if they would like to continue. There is a registration fee of $30 (with no other fees or expenses), which can be paid at the Jan 29 class. However, since space in the group is very limited, please call Kirsten to register before the first rehearsal. Thanks!
