Description
**Seventy-five years since the sound of the steel pan arrived in the UK, a suite of new commissions celebrates its heritage and horizons for *Steel Scenes*.**
As part of the 1951 Festival of Britain, The Trinidad All-Steel Pan Percussion Orchestra (TASPO) performed in the UK for the first time – forever changing the DNA of British music.
Since then, the steel pan instrument has been a symbol of innovation and community-powered creativity. As part of Steel Scenes, Steel Pan Reimagined dives into the musical legacy of steel pan music and cements its central place within the global pantheon of genre-defying music.
Working with a fusion of different disciplines, from classical to jazz, the show illuminates the true dynamism of the form and cements steel pan music’s place in the centre of the modern, genre-defying musical landscape.
The evening features world premieres and new works. Composers include Nabihah Iqbal, Delphina James, Soweto Kinch and Marlon The Pannist, with more acts still to be announced.
Presented by Southbank Centre.
