STEEL DRUM ENSEMBLE (18+)

Be a founding member of the Winchester Steel Drum Ensemble! This new ensemble class is a collaboration between Winchester Community Music School and Winchester Recreation Dept. It is an intergenerational offering for ages 12 to adult, open to all and requiring no previous musical experience.

We’ll learn traditional Caribbean and popular songs while also learning about the music and history of the island of Trinidad, the birthplace of the steel drum (also known as steel pan). Everyone will get to try the different types of steel drums in the ensemble.

Our ensemble will perform at local community spring and summer events such as Music MAYnia, Winchester Town Day, and Porchfest. Enrollment is limited to just 6 participants unless you can provide your own steel drum to bring to the class. (15 weeks plus performances in May and June)

Start Date: February 5 - May 28 (Off 2/19 & 4/23) (Plus performances in May and June)
