by Garvin Blake Pan Evolution Steel Orchestra at Celebrate Brooklyn Provided with the expressed permission of: the Author Saturday, June 11 was etched on my calendar since BRIC released their Celebrate Brooklyn schedule in late April. Pan was again taking center stage at the borough's biggest and best summer festival. Adding to the anticipation, this spring the fabled outdoor performance space was renamed the Lena Horne Bandshell in honor of the Bedford-Stuyvesant-born singer, actress and civil rights activist.

  Educator, Arranger, Composer and Performing Artist Khuent Rose   Happy Birthday to Khuent Rose January 16th When Steel Talks extends Birthday Greetings to panist, Khuent Rose “….Coming from the Brooklyn genesis of pan - it was the pan yard, you know? It has always been the panyard. You fall in love with the panyard. Even people that come from the academy, that come from the school, and have any kind of experience with the panyard – they fall in love with it. It's visceral. It's like eating - ribs with your finger- it just does that to you.... Sometimes the people sitting in the classroom, look at the panyard and say “It’s unrefined.” And then the people sitting in the panyard look in the classroom and say “It’s sterile,” when really it’s just a matter of understand the perspective….””   - Khuent Rose A musical tribute to the Mighty Shadow by Khuent Rose See more Relevant Content Meet Khuent Rose - Educator, Arranger, Composer, Performing Artist - UpClose!
