On Friday 24th October, Firebird hosted a team-buildling day for musicians working on Artscope's TEN project.

Using Lincoln City's very own gamelan, facilitator and Javanese music specialist, John Pawson, led a fascinating day giving the team a unique environment and welcome opportunity to experiment with different ways of working together.

 
On Monday 17th 2008, Firebird hosted a special session for a small group of musicians and artists from Lincoln to explore the unique sound world of the Javanese gamelan owned by the City Council.

One of Firebird's most important ongoing partnerships is with Lincoln City Council for our management of the Lincoln City Gamelan, and one of Firebird's most enduring initiatives is that of the Firebird Gamelan group.

This group meets weekly on Tuesdays from 7:00pm - 9:00pm at the City of Lincoln Community College on Skellingthorpe Road, Lincoln, and membership is open to all. You don't need any prior musical knowledge just an enthusiasm for learning something new.
