The Clamour of Steel Pan, The Majesty of Choral
posted (July 20, 2017)
Most of you are familiar with the expansive elegance of Choral music, and of course you all know the hype and energy that brings the Steel pan to life. These two forms of music don't usually go together but the University of the West Indies Arts Choral and Arts Steel ensemble from Trinidad and Tobago, masterfully merges both. 46 students are in Belize to perform and also to host workshops. We caught up with the group at the Bliss as they rehearsed for their show tonight. Music Director and Conductor Jessel Murray told us just how special this blend of music is.

The show started tonight at 7:00 at the Bliss. The group will also head over to the University of Quintanaroo in Chetumal to perform. Belize's own Alexander Evans and his Pandemonium steel band will open the show tonight so you don't want to miss it. EDNS.
