Ensemble of Gamelan (EoG) 2016

Alhamdulillah, we're finally done with EOG16! 

Ensemble of Gamelan (EoG) 2016 is an event that will be held to commemorate the 14^th year anniversary of the establishment of UTP Gamelan Group, Sanggar Kirana. This is the fifth time of EOG being organised by Sanggar Kirana and UTP. The main objectives of this proposed festival are to encourage and educate university’s students as well as the public to appreciate Gamelan music from around the world. Throughout the years, this event has served as a platform to showcase the country’s diversity, colour and uniqueness through arts and cultural activities.

The event itself has attracted people from all walks of life to come to UTP for a glimpse of what it was like to see gamelan as a traditional element brought to life by students and gamelan community from all over Asia. Among the list of teams that performed with us this year in EOG including Gemawan KISAS, Gamelan Buana INTEC, UKJGS UGM, Sri Warisan UNITEN Muadzam, Gamelan Slendro UKM, Gema Gamelan UNITEN Bangi, Badarsila (Alumni UTP, UIA and UNITEN), Gamelan UNISZA, Gasita UGM and Sanggar Kirana UTP.

This year EOG bring you the theme of royalty or 'Bangsawan' with a little influence of legendary love tales, Puteri Gunung Ledang. This really shown in the opening act with 'Overture' song featuring UPAG and intermission performance by Sanggar Kirana with 'Antara Selat' that combining gamelan performance with drama, love story, dance and singing. While, the closing performance Sanggar Kirana try something bold and fresh for gamelan ensemble entitled 'Gegar' by combining with hip-hop dance from Interbeatz Crew.

Biggest appreciation to EoG16 committees for their hardwork in making EoG16 a successful event. Also, endless thanks to our sponsors!! Without your support, this event wouldn't be successful. We really appreciate all your kind support. Our utmost gratitude to all participants of EoG16 for supporting this event and share your astounding gamelan music! We hope all of you enjoyed the time spent here in UTP. Our sincere apology for our mistakes done throughout the event.

To those who came, I hope you enjoyed the show and thank you so much for giving your support to gamelan music! We hope to see you again in future👐. Our appreciation also goes to UTP Performing Arts Group (UPAG), our talented singers Yusreena and Fathi and also Interbeatz Crew. We had such a good time with you guys and hope all of us benefited from this collaboration 💜

Till next year 🙆

National Age Group Chess Championship Closing Ceremony & UTP Varsity Star Awards 2015

Salam and Hi guys,

Sanggar Kirana once again have been invited to perform for two events this week. What a hectic week for us with the upcoming EOG16' just around the corner. However, we still manage to perform well and entertain all the guests for both events :D.

And, Sanggar Kirana was awarded 5 stars in UTP Varsity Star Awards 2015 with our biggest achievement last year in performing in three international events which is Malaysia Night 2015 in London (we are the first Malaysian University that have been invited by MATRADE to perform there), A Taste of Malaysia Culture in Nottingham (Malaysian arts and cultural showcase in the city center of Nottingham), and the last one is Cheonan World Dance Festival (accompanied UTP Performing Arts Group with Kulintangan music).

Sanggar Kirana mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada UTP, Tuan Haji Mohamed Noor Rosli Baharom (UTP Deputy Vice Chancellor), En. Ahmad Pg dan En. Nordin Abdolatip atas sokongan dan peluang yang diberikan kepada kami. Menjadi tanggungjwab kami untuk menjaga dan menaikkan Sanggar Kirana ke peringkat lebih tinggi.

Pertandingan Muzik Gamelan Melayu Kebangsaan 2015

Assalamualaikum.

Sanggar Kirana lagi sekali berkesempatan untuk menyertai Pertandingan Muzik Gamelan Melayu Kebangsaan 2015 yang berlangsung selama dua hari dari 20-21 Oktober 2015. Pertandingan yang diadakan di Stadium Tertutup, Kompleks Sukan Terengganu, Gong Badak kali ini disertai dengan 15 kumpulan gamelan dari dalam Malaysia yang masing - masing tidak kurang hebatnya.

Sesi 'sound-check'

Kenal tak siapa yang jadi model poster pertandingan tahun ni??

Membawakan lagu tradisional Perang Manggong dan lagu kontemporari Susuk Angin mampu membuatkan penonton teruja dan bersorak dengan alunan muzik gamelan itu sendiri.

Cik Deeno dan Abang Fuad antara orang kuat yang terpaksa tahan dengan karenah kami

Walau bagaimanapun, rezeki masih tidak berpihak kepada kami lagi. Rezeki itu rahsia Allah, tiada siapa yang tahu. Tahun ini masih lagi bukan rezeki kami untuk merangkul kejuaraan dalam pertandingan ini. Masih banyak yang perlu diperbaiki dan dipelajari agar setanding pasukan gamelan yang tersohor di nusantara. 

 Bersama abang-abang 'hot' dari team UNITEN

Apa apapun kami berasa sangat gembira kerana dapat menyajikan alunan gamelan yang asli yang datang dari jiwa. Muzik yang baik tidak perlu di terangkan melalui bait lirik itu sendiri, jika penghayatan jiwa diberi semasa bermain maka maksudnya akan sampai. Tahniah kepada para pemenang. Insha Allah lain masa kita bertemu lagi.

Siapa lagi kalau bukan dengan dua orang Maharajawana Gamelan dan seorang lagi Ratu Gamelan Melayu.
