Kicking off this year’s Sinterklaas celebration the day after Thanksgiving in Kingston, NY; Catskill Mountain Gamelan musicians perform a harvest dance. This unique performance was followed up by Dutch Christmas storytales by Bex Caldbeck and a German choir concert by the Kingston Maennerchor and Damenchor. The group performed on contemporary style aluminum instruments, built by gamelan builder Christopher Andersen. After the concert, gamelan musicians joined the Sinterklaas himself for a parade through uptown Kingston.
