Klenengan Pujangga Laras

Year 8, "Lebaran" klenengan

18 October 2008
House of Bp. Wakidjo, Surakarta

On Saturday night, 18 October 2008, we had the extra klenengan in the 8th fiscal year running. Each year we do 11 klenengan and leave the 12th klenengan funds for Lebaran bonuses. This year, the fiscal year started with Lebaran, so instead of starting out the year with bonuses—and since Pak Wakidjo’s daughter Endah was getting married in a grand ceremony at ISI the next day—the musicians started out the year with a klenengan at Pak Wakidjo’s house the night before the wedding.
