STEEL ORCHESTRA
Formed
in September 1987 by Terry Noel, the award-winning BT Melodians
Steel Orchestra has provided opportunities for young people
from varied social and racial backgrounds to develop music
skills, techniques and a wide repertoire that includes classical,
modern, calypso, pop and jazz compositions.
The
orchestra is well known internationally through its links
with the British Council Cultural departments around the
world. Over the years the orchestra has travelled to several
countries including Abu Dha'bi, Belgium, Croatia, Doha,
France, Germany, Ireland, India. Isle of Man, Jersey, Kazakhstan,
Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Russia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Switzerland,
and Turkey. They have also performed at International festivals
and for British High Commissioners at British Embassies
in some of the countries.
The
orchestra has appeared for eight consecutive years at the
Commonwealth day Service at Westminster Abbey in the presence
of HM The Queen and other members of the Royal family. Other
Royal engagements include three performances at garden parties
in Buckingham Palace, one at St James's Palace and three
at Highgrove House, home of the Prince of Wales.
The
orchestra is the first steel orchestra to receive two Performing
Right Society Enterprise Awards, a Royal Anniversary Challenge
Award and a BT Innovation Award.
