A huge thank you again to everyone who came along and took part in our open sessions at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland! It was amazing to see so many faces come together from community groups, individuals and their carers to be part of our gamelan orchestra!

Sometimes our gamelan sets need a bit of care and repair between projects. A huge thank you to Big Yellow Self Storage at Staples Corner for their generosity in giving us a space to keep, and maintain our amazing instruments.💛

The #gamelan is substantial, resonant and tactile which helps makes our projects all the more impactful. The instruments need a safe place to stay between making wonderful music so we send a huge thank you to Big Yellow Self Storage for kindly donating a space for it! 💛🤝
