Republic Bank sponsors steel pan forum
The commitment of Republic Bank to support and develop art, culture and music is once again evident with their sponsorship of a Steelpan Workshop in collaboration with the Tina Insanally Foundation.
The Workshop will be attended by 14 participants drawn from the Foundation’s locations countrywide – Lovely Lass, West Coast Berbice; St. John Bosco Orphanage, Plaisance’, the Ruimveldt Children Centre, the St. Ann’s Orphanage and its main branch at Guyenterprise, Georgetown.
In the picture, Mrs. Erica Jeffrey, Manager – Branch Support Services of Republic Bank, is seen handing over the cheque to cover the entire cost for the workshop to steel-pan maker and tuner, Aubrey Bryan. Also present is Maria Leung of the Tina Insanally Foundation.
The facilitators are London-based Panologist Aubrey Bryan and Ivan Chapman from the North Ruimveldt Multilateral School. They will host five daily sessions from Monday, July 15 to Friday at Ivan Chapman’s North Ruimveldt Pan Workshop on Mandela Avenue.
The workshop will teach the participants the History of Pan, how to select suitable pans, to sink drums, the smoothing and marking out of drums – the grooving, cutting, heating and tuning of drums.
