Ongoing Groups for Adults

  • Students learn marimba and how to play together as a group, but more importantly how to be a good teammate, and how to be a great community member.
  • Each session, we revisit concepts over and over through time; together with our students, we deepen our knowledge and experience through this spiral learning.
  • Once or twice each year, students have the opportunity to bring a friend during our Bring-a-Friend week and learn the #songoftheseason during our One Song, Once Community campaign.
  • On the rare occasion, classes are invited to perform at our concert series concerts, but all student groups are invited to play at our annual Spring Student Festival in May.

The following are on-going groups for adults. If you are interested in becoming a member of one of them, please send us a message!

Wednesdays 5:45-7:15 pm

Chapungu Marimba with Amy Stewart McIntosh
Tuesdays 6:30-8 pm
What started many years ago as the ‘Screaming Purple Eagles’ has now become one of Kutandara’s longest-standing groups, and gives a nod to their roots by wearing purple when they perform.

Machikichori Marimba with Randy McIntosh
Thursdays 6-7:30 pm
Machikichori is a fun-loving intermediate adult marimba class. Machikichori takes themselves lightly, but their music seriously!

Kutandara Marimba with Kutandara Staff + Zimbabwean Guests
Sundays 3-6 pm + Wednesdays 7:30-9:30 pm

This is our signature house band, made up of instructors and advanced students committed to learning from our Zimbabwean Teachers and Visiting Artists. This auditioned, performing, 8-piece marimba orchestra includes bass, baritone, tenor, alto, and soprano marimbas. The sound is pure marimba, as it is taught and performed in Zimbabwe.
