ALL-STEEL DRUM BAND -- STEEL IMPRESSIONS
-- COMING TO CAMPUS ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25
TITUSVILLE, Nov. 19 -- Steel
Impressions, a six-piece steel pan band from
Pittsburgh, will perform on Monday, November 25,
at 7:30 p.m. in Henne Auditorium at the
University of Pittsburgh at Titusville. Under
the direction of Phil Solomon, a world-renowned
steel pan technologist and craftsman, the band
will perform a mix of calypso, classical, funk,
rock and jazz music.
Steel Impressions has enjoyed great
success since their inception in the early
1990’s. They perform for corporate clients,
weddings, and private and public affairs, as
well as touring festivals and music competitions
across the country.
In addition, they participate in educational
programs for school assemblies, interactive
lectures and artists in residencies. These
programs focus on the history and construction
of the Steel pan and incorporate lively
performances. The unique sound of the pan
instrument originated in the Caribbean in the
1940’s and has since become synonymous with
tropical music.
Steel Impressions is part of the
2002-2003 Spotlight Series, sponsored by UPT and
Titusville Winter Theatre. For more information
or to reserve your tickets, call 827-4460.
Tickets will also be available at the door.
