'(G)Amiina' at the Cork Opera House

'Gamiina' is a collaborative project produced by Cork Opera House. In this unique musical treat Cork Opera House will work with 6th class pupils from Cork Educate Together, UCC School of Music, UCC Gamelan Ensemble, Icelandic stars Amiina and a host of facilitators in the city. The students from Cork Educate Together will be taken through the principles of the Gamelan Orchestra with the object of the project being their interpretation of Amiina’s music through the Gamelan – hence the title for the event, as chosen by the students themselves – Gamiina. Amiina will come for a period in June to work with the children and compose some new compositions on the Gamelan themselves. For this special event the audiences will be treated to performances from Amiina and the school students in collaboration with UCC Javanese Gamelan Ensemble under the direction of Mel Mercier.
