Hi everyone!

I hope you have had a good Aidilfitri!

I have just started an official website for our Reflections events each year.

Only details on our Reflections shows will be posted on that website.

Please click here --> GNK Reflections

GNK is training very hard for the upcoming Reflections show this November.

& our preview is in early October!

Take care, everyone!

Will be back soon for another update. :)

2010-09-03T18:28:00.000+08:00

Alright, people!

Ramadhan is almost over! So on behalf of GNK, wishing you a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Mohon maaf lahir dan batin.

By the way, Gamma Rays will be having a show this coming Sunday

5th Sept at Pasir Ris Park, Carpark E, @ 5pm

A couple of our very own GNK members will be performing as part of Gamma Rays.

So if you have the time, please come down to show your support.

So there won't be any trainings at the moment as UT 3 is oh-so nearing.

Have you guys studied?

Hope so, because your GPA matters.

So good luck for UT3.

Don't try your best, DO your best! :)

Till here. :)

2010-08-13T09:38:00.000+08:00

Okay time for an update!

These are a few pictures for our most recent performance on the 13th of June for Symposium.

Everyone had fun and we had a very supportive audience who sat down to listen to our music.

We even got praises from some of the listeners!!! :)

Good job, Nagas!!

Anyway, we are currently planning for our Reflections 2010.

The committee is not confirmed yet but if you would like to play a part, do step up and inform Shaa or Ahmad.

The theme this year for Reflections is Confluence.

I'll be back with more updates once I have the full details.

In the meantime, trainings for seniors are on Tuesdays, 5-7.

For the juniors, Wednesdays, 5-7.

As we get nearer to our Reflections date, trainings will be more frequent.

(Reflections is a big production, you know.)

So do come down for trainings if you want to be part of our biggest production.

Alrighty, see you in the next update.

Stay tuned! =)

Ramayana under the stars!

2010-05-29T17:23:00.000+08:00

Last saturday, GNK got an opportunity to share the stage with other gamelan ensembles such as NUS Gamelan Singa Nglaras & Gamelan Asmaradana. Our Nagas gained valuable experience working with different ensembles and also renowned Gamelan Instructor, Pak Midiyanto from University of Berkley, California.

We would like to apologise for the lack of photos in this post. However, you can check out photos from the event here.

Lastly, we would like to thank everyone for their constant support.
