Kingston, Jamaica, W.I. - Hundreds of patrons turned up at the Karram Speid Auditorium on Constant Spring Road in St Andrew, for Rhapsody In Steel, on Sunday afternoon.
The show featured Trinidad-born, Toronto-based master panist Darren Sheppard, as well as University of the West Indies (UWI) Panoridim Steel Orchestra, and Harold Davis.
"This is the third year and so far, the concert has raised on average of around $500,000," Audley Betton, chairman of the fund-raising committee at the Church of St John the Evangelist -- the organisers, told the Jamaica Observer.
Sheppard's inclusion was part of the organisers attempt to transform the steel pan music show into a calendar event.
"We're trying to get enough corporate sponsorship to bring a steel pan band from Trinidad & Tobago for next year," Betton said.
