Music lovers, here's an opportunity you don't get every day.
Mark your calendars. Buy your tickets.
Saturday, October 26th at Trinity United Church in Newmarket
Caribbean Dinner 6:00 and Concert 7:30
$50 for a Caribbean Dinner Buffet and the Gemini Pan Groove Steelband concert. Tickets are available on Eventbrite (Trinity United Church Steel Pan Concert), or on Sundays at Trinity United Church, or from the church office. There are options to buy tickets for only the concert, and discounts for children and students.
Gemini Pan Groove will be performing in the beautiful historical Trinity United Church sanctuary. This is their second performance here. Their last one had the audience sometimes blissfully entranced and other times joyfully dancing in the aisles.
Here's what is said about the band/orchestra on their YouTube page:
Gemini Pan Groove is a program that uses the steel pan as a medium for community development and as a foundation to advance the artform. Our program offers both educational and social components for our musicians. The concept, "each one teach one" gives everyone the opportunity to contribute towards the success of our program. We are a performance-based band that hosts several events per year in partnership with many community groups and individuals. Notable performances include St. Vincent and the Grenadines in 2007, Montreal in 2013, Washington D.C. in 2014, Philadelphia and Montreal in 2015, New York in 2016, Pittsburgh in 2017 and Chicago in 2018. Our wide ranging repertoire gives us the versatility to perform at any type of event, with a mix of calypso, classical, reggae, soca and jazz. Gemini also hosts multiple recitals featuring individual performers, calypsonians and small ensembles.

The Caribbean Dinner will be enjoyed in Trinity Hall ("the gym") before the concert.
