World Music Concert: Mas N Steel and Old Time Ensemble

The FSU College of Music invites you to join us for an evening of world music with Mas N Steel and Old Time Ensemble on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. in Opperman Music Hall.   Admission to this event is free and open to the public.

“Mas ‘n Steel,” a Trinidadian-style steelband, consists of “pans” made by Manette, Alexis, and Reynolds. The ensemble offers instruction on all instruments, and performs frequently at FSU and throughout the state of Florida as part of its activities. Repertoire includes traditional works for steelband, Panorama compositions, and a wide range of arrangements encompassing classical, jazz, and popular music styles.

Old Time Ensemble focuses on the traditional music and dance of North America. Students learn ballads and Appalachian-style fiddle tunes on a variety of instruments including fiddle, guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, dulcimer and piano and are given the chance to learn clogging and square dancing. The group gives several community outreach concerts each year in addition to their performances on campus.
