Virginia Arts Festival presents Virginia International PANFest!
Over 100 steelband players from across the US! Our guest clinicians will workshop a mass band/ensemble song to perform with all bands participating in the PANFest Friday Workshop. Each steel band will be divided up by sections (high pans, middle pans, & low/bass pans) to get instruction from some of the foremost teachers in the steel band community before coming together to perform a mass band tune. These cross-ensemble sectionals will give your students the opportunity to meet and perform with a wide range of players from around the US, all while developing the techniques needed to execute a high level of musicianship.
The festivities will continue at 24th street stage on Saturday with 17 competing steelbands from 5+ states. For our grand finale, First Citizens Supernovas Steel Orchestra will be headlining Friday night 8-10pm, and Saturday 8:30-10pm. You won't want to miss this!
