PSPA Junior Associates Conference (JAC): HANDS Percussion in Ipoh!

The award-winning, renowned Malaysian percussion ensemble, HANDS Percussion, will be in Ipoh next Saturday and I am most excited about watching their live performance. Well, if you can’t tell from reading this text, you can imagine me jumping up and down when I heard the news!

HANDS Percussion originated with the traditional ‘24 Festive Drums’. The group is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Over the years, this group’s repertoire, vocabulary and capabilities have transformed and improved significantly.

Performances by HANDS are now a testament of their commitment and genuine passion to its art form and artistry. Elaborately stylised choreography of movement and dance is synonymous with their productions, which incorporate drums and other instruments such as the gamelan, djembe, kompang, gendang, timpani and marimba.

The ensemble, who is on a nationwide tour, is making a stop in Ipoh, thanks to PSPA Junior Associates Conference (JAC). Yes, all you musicians and budding musicians – pay attention to the information that I am about to share.
