Apa khabar semua?

Bersempena dengan Student Carnival IIUM 2016, Gamelan Gema Gangsa telah dijemput untuk membuat persembahan penutup pada 30 April di Dewan Utama, CAC. 

Persembahan dimulakan dengan kumpulan skill dan niche gamelan mengikut urutan hasil cadangan Cikgu Ku Zahir sebagai salah seorang tenaga pelatih bagi memberi pendedahan tentang cara-cara persembahan gamelan (bukan sekadar latihan lagu) kepada pelajar. 

Akhir sekali Gema Gangsa daripada kumpulan Junior (Juju) mempersembahkan lagu Cak Doh Gong dengan menarik sekali.

Terima kasih diucapkan kepada semua penonton yang memberikan sokongan penuh semasa persembahan!

Pada 28042016, kami telah dijemput untuk mengadakan persembahan sempena Majlis Konvokesyen ke-21 Sijil Amalan Guaman 2015 Lembaga Kelayakan Profession Undang undang Malaysia di Dewan Tun Hussein Onn, Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC).

Persembahan dan majlis berjalan lancar. Terima kasih diucapkan.

Hello!

In conjunction with IIUM Youth Festival 2016, Allnighter and Creept Production House as well as Gamelan Gema Gangsa were invited to perform for Charity Theatre on 17th of April 2016 at Main Auditorium IIUM. Part of ticket price was donated to Mercy Malaysia.

We performed 'Cari cari Cuba Kau Cari' by Cikgu Ku Zahir along with IIUM Percussion and penyanyi, Mr. Tarmizi from IIUM Band.

We thanked the penganjur for the invitation. We had a great night!

On 15th of April 2016, Ensemble of Gamelan was held at Universiti Teknologi Petronas, Tronoh, Perak as the host. We did not participate this time as it clashed with other event at IIUM. We thanked Sanggar Kirana for their kindness inviting us as a penonton to the event.

Although we were not one of the participants, our alumni did take part (with other alumni as well) and formed Badarsila.

We enjoyed the shows!

Hello and have a nice day everyone.

A proposal to hold Gamelan's Recital was proposed by Cikgu Ku Zahir, our advisor and on 14th of April 2016 we had one by the name of Mini Recital 1.0!

The objectives of this event are to give an exposure to our new members (we called them SuJu) to perform in front of others as well as a platform to learn from the seniors.

The first performance by SuJu presented us with traditional gamelan songs - Timang Burung, Topeng, Togok and Nongga & Lantai Lima. Next, we have the second generation, Juju with Cikgu Ku Zahir's creative song - Can Doh Gong. Last but not least was the performance by Seniorita Team, also presenting Cikgu's song which had won the first place in Pertandingan Gamelan Kebangsaan Terengganu 2013 - Cari cari Cuba Kau Cari (YouTube link).

After all performances, Cikgu as the jury commented and corrected our performances for improvement. The focus was, of course, on the Suju. The comments include how to tackle the audiences, starting and ending of a performance and many more.

We hoped that this event will have a great turnout for our next performances.
