Fantastic Free Fridays: Miami University Steel Band

About this event

Miami University Steel Band

The Miami University Steel Band was founded in 1994. Under the leadership of founder and director Chris Tanner, the program has grown to encompass two separate ensembles with a combined enrollment of over 60 members and 25 university-owned instruments. The ensemble is very active, performing in a number of settings including on-campus concerts, summer park venues, and in-school outreach programs. The goal of the Miami University Steel Band is to present excellent performances of quality literature in the steel band idiom, with a special emphasis on original music by contemporary composers. As the art form of pan grows in the 21st century, the Miami University Steel Band aspires to be one of the leading programs in exemplifying excellence in performance, and in expanding the repertory for this unique ensemble.

Recommended for all ages.

Made possible by the generous support of the Middletown Community Foundation.
