The concert will feature arranger, composer and performing artist Sune Borregaard’s arrangements and compositions for steelband and jazz ensemble. Borregaard’s arrangements will include Miles Davis’ Nardis and Dizzy Gillespie’s Manteca in addition to two original compositions, April and Blue Pan, both written specially for this unique collaboration.
The NIU Steelband is directed by Liam Teague (Head of Steelpan Studies/Assistant Professor of Music) and Clifford Alexis (composer, arranger, tuner and builder). NIU is one of the few institutions in the world at which students may pursue music degrees (Bachelors and Masters) with the steelpan as their major instrument of choice. Professor Ronald Carter (director, NIU Jazz Studies), leads the NIU Jazz Ensemble.
