Foundation Meets Future: Episode 2
Steelpan Arrangers
On Saturday 26th September 2026 the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival Museum hosted a very special and meaningful event in its Foundation Meets Future series - Steelpan Arrangers episode.
A steelpan arranger is a musician who reworks a piece of music to be played specifically on the steelpan.
This was a meaningful conversation bringing together steelpan arrangers from three different generations to reflect on their journeys.
