The Taste of Gamelan
Melbourne Community Gamelan, in conjunction with Yuni’s Kitchen, presents:
The Taste of Gamelan
Monday 12 September 2016, 7-9 pm
Uniting Church Hall
251 High Street, Northcote
When an Indonesian hears the song about ‘rujak’, they immediately imagine the taste, smell and appearance of the spicy fruit salad. We will recreate this experience for an Australian audience. Twelve Javanese gamelan musical pieces about food will be paired with snacks for the audience.
Musical pieces interpreted by Melbourne-based dancer, Ade Suharto, with Javanese-inspired creative dance. Musicians include Ki Poedijono, Dr Joko Susilo and Ria Soemardjo (singer).
Sorry! Unfortunately we are now BOOKED OUT for places with snacks. We are, however, still able to offer some consolation tickets WITH NO SNACKS at a cheaper price ($15 adult/ $10 concession/ child).
The music and dancing will still be beautiful – eat your dinner beforehand!
Book through Try Booking: https://www.trybooking.com/MTEY (NO SNACKS tickets will also be available at the door).
The Taste of Gamelan is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia-Indonesia Institute of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The University of Melbourne’s Indonesia Forum is delighted to sponsor the book launch of ‘Tiger Stone’ by Deryn Mansell (Asia Education Foundation, the University of Melbourne).
The novel will be launched by Professor Virginia Hooker (Australian National University).
Ms Dina Indrasfitri (freelance journalist and artist) will also be sharing her impressions.
Music at the event provided by Melbourne Community Gamelan.
About the Book: When you’re sworn to silence it pays to keep your eyes and ears open. Tiger eyes, tiger spirit, tiger stone. Only a daughter could unlock the stone’s power. Java, fourteenth century. The villagers are fearful of Mbah Merapi, the rumbling volcano that overshadows their lives. Kancil, the lowliest kitchen servant, knows the real danger is human but is fatherless and mute – and she will lose everything if her identity is revealed. How can Kancil warn the villagers of the danger they are in? Deryn’s novel is aimed at the Young Adult/teenage reader – but is also a good read for adults!
Copies of the book will be on sale at the launch.
Location: Upstairs 210 Berkeley St, Carlton, the University of Melbourne (off Grattan St Melways 2B C8). The venue is not wheelchair accessible.
