Pan and Parang Fundraiser with Trinidad & Tobago Chinese Steel Ensemble

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - In its bid to offset expenses, the Trinidad & Tobago Chinese Steel Ensemble (TTCSE) will be hosting its first-ever “Pan and Parang” fundraiser.

The brunch fundraiser takes place at The Chaconia Hotel, Saddle Road, Maraval in Trinidad on Sunday November 5, 2017. Brunch will be served from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Contribution is TT $250.00 per ticket. Limited tickets are available from all band members. A cash bar will be available.

Entertainment will be provided by the host band, the Trinidad & Tobago Chinese Steel Ensemble, and Los Angeles de San Miguel.

“The funds go towards expenses for the band, maintenance of equipment, arrangements, uniforms,” says Ken Chang On, president of the band.

He went on to state that the band has a few sponsors to whom they are grateful, “but we also need to raise funds from time to time.”

More importantly, Chang On noted, “it also gives supporters an opportunity to spend some time with us, listen to our repertoire and meet the new faces in the band.”

The Trinidad & Tobago Chinese Steel Ensemble was formally launched in July 2006 on the occasion of the celebration of the 200th Anniversary of Chinese Arrival in Trinidad & Tobago. Its repertoire includes a fusion of Chinese and local cultures and is the firs-ever “all Chinese steelband in Trinidad & Tobago.

Since its formation, the band has created a name for itself performing at many cultural events both locally and internationally.
