Malay Gamelan Recital 2018
Gangsapura giat membuat persiapan untuk membantu salah seorang ahli kami, Amira Farhana (baca : Apple) membentangkan kajian thesis beliau melalui persembahan gamelan Melayu kontemporari. Sejak 2 tahun lalu beliau telah melakukan kajian terhadap teknik permainan gamelan Melayu dalam konteks tradisi dan kontemporari dengan meneliti karya-karya tradisi dan moden. Hasil dari kajian tersebut, Gangsapura berpeluang menjadi sebahagian daripada projek ini dalam menzahirkan hasil penulisan tersebut ke dalam bentuk persembahan selama 45 minit.
