SBP Malay Gamelan Music Competition 2026
Wangsa Sari struck the right chords in Johor! SEMASHUR's 12-player gamelan ensemble brought home a Silver Award at the SBP Malay Gamelan Music Competition 2026.
Main Overview
From the gong to the saron, Wangsa Sari owned the stage! On 5 and 6 May 2026, SEMASHUR's gamelan ensemble made its way to Yayasan Warisan Johor for the SBP Malay Gamelan Music Competition 2026, hosted by Sekolah Tun Fatimah.
The competition serves as a platform for fully residential schools to nurture young talent while keeping traditional Malay music alive. Entries were submitted in a recorded format, with each performance judged by an experienced panel of gamelan specialists.
Made up of 12 players, Wangsa Sari delivered a confident, disciplined set — the kind of tight ensemble sound that only comes from months of dedicated practice with their teachers. 🎨
Alhamdulillah, all that hard work paid off with a Silver Award for Wangsa Sari! Here's hoping this milestone pushes the ensemble to reach even greater heights in the traditional music arts. 🥈 #SEMASHUR #SEMASHURSeindahNama #WangsaSari #GamelanSBP #TraditionalMusic
