Year 12, #1
2 February 2013 On Saturday, 2 February 2013, we had the FIRST klenèngan in the 12th year running of Pujangga Laras. The klenèngan was held at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro at Sanggar Seni Mayangkara, in Gebang, Kadipiro, Surakarta. The gendhing were planned by Suraji, Head of the Karawitan Department at ISI. We were so happy that Ibu Tukinem could come out to help us start off Year 12—she was unable to sing, but did stay for the whole evening. —Kitsie Emerson, Solo/Jakarta Acara GendhingLdr Wilujeng, pl lima

rb: Raji SPEECH to start off YEAR 12 At this point, Bp Darsono-ISI gave a wonderful speech to launch Year 12. Among many other topics, he listed all the members of Pujangga Laras we have lost over the years (in, I believe, this order—of course many more musicians/dhalang have passed away in the 12 years PL has been running, but these particular artists were regular, central members—13 central members in 11 complete years):
Bp Darsono also listed the founders, sponsoring countries, and especially the hosts that have so generously given their spaces over the years for the Pujangga Laras klenèngan:
