Berklee Steelpan Ensemble

Department - PERC
Offered - Fall, Spring
Course number - ENPH-291

This ensemble will perform a range of music specifically written and arranged for the steelpan instrument. Repertoire will be drawn from "Panorama" arrangements adapted for small ensemble, original arrangements by the director, and adaptations from the European classical repertoire. Styles will include pop, calypso, and contemporary jazz. Desired instrumentation is: four tenors (leads), two double seconds, one guitar pan, two triple cellos, one tenor bass, two bass, and assorted engine room percussion instruments (drum set and hand percussion). This ensemble will perform a recital at the end of the semester, and possibly at other special events.
