In this introductory workshop, the basics of playing the djembé are explained. Omar will demonstrate how to play the djembé with different rhythms. With the available djembé's, the audience will actively take part in the music.

Jazz? World Music!, a lecture/workshop by Wim Ninaber and Ruud Bergamin.
12.30 - 14.30 h in room 232

In this combination of a lecture, a demonstration and a workshop, Wim and Ruud will tell about jazz music and its origin. With live examples played on their two saxophones, the ideas of the lecture will be illustrated. In the workshop part, the audience will actively participate in the music. For this, once again you are kindly invited to bring your own instruments to this workshop.

Kecak, a workshop by Renadi Santoso.
14.00 - 14.30 h and 15.00 - 15.30 h in room 118

Kecak is a form of Balinese music drama, traditionally performed by male chorus, with characteristic interleaving rhythms and voice techniques, making the chorus almost sound like a gamelan percussion ensemble. At the workshops given by Renadi at our Music Worlds Festival, both men and women will have the chance to interactively get to know this exciting and exotic music style!

Next to that, there will be a continuous open stage. Here, you can hear performances by local groups with a.o. traditional Irish music. If you want to play on this open stage too, feel free to do so!

A closing concert will start at 16 h in room 232. Here, both the classical music masterclass teachers, several workshop teachers and students and some local groups will be playing. After the concert, you will be able to have an informal drink with us till 18 h.

The 2009-2010 activities of the Chamber Music department of Krashna Musika are kindly supported by Dol's Muziekhandel in Delft.
