UTP, 28th March- Ensemble of Gamelan, as the name suggests, was a lively and festive event that gathered eight different
gamelan groups from all over the country including UTP to perform together in
UTP Chancellor Hall. Gamelan is traditional
ensemble music of Java and Bali in Indonesia, made up predominantly of
percussive instruments.
A total of
eight teams were selected namely Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah (KISAS),
Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA), Ensemble in Gamelan (EiG), Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), SMK Bandar Baru Sentul (SMK BBS), Universiti Tenaga
Nasional (UNITEN), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) as well as Universiti
Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). The team that represented UTP was the Sanggar Kirana
group.
The purpose of the event was to encourage integration between these
eight teams and hopefully allow them to acquire new knowledge related to
gamelan through the performances. The highlight of the event was when the VVIP,
Yang Berhormat Nolee went to the gamelan platform and performed. She played six
different notes alone entitled Gimmick and during the last note, Sanggar Kirana
joined and performed together with her. At around 11 pm, the melodious event
came to an end.
