The orchestra features 19 pan players.
The Provi-QRC Steel Orchestra is a collaboration between two prominent secondary schools in Trinidad and Tobago: Queen’s Royal College, an all-boys school, and the all-girls school, Providence Girls’ Catholic School. Started in 2013, the founding audacious pannists were declared the 2014 Secondary Schools’ National Panorama champions just a few months after starting.
The decade that followed was quite a journey. The orchestra finished in the top three five times out of the nine occasions it competed; including this year. The QRC Steel Ensemble had two previous tours to the Washington area in 2014 and 2017.
For two weeks, the students in the orchestra will be ambassadors of Trinidad and Tobago and are scheduled to visit the Trinidad and Tobago Embassy in Washington and perform a number of concerts in Washington, Maryland and Virginia.
