New York, USA - Yesterday was an added triple treat - WST (When Steel Talks) not only got to check out the newly renovated New York State Theater (David H. Koch Theater) at Lincoln center but we also got to see one of our own favorite daughters of pan, Orisha John perform in the New York City Opera Orchestra as part of the Fall 2009 program “Opera is Instrumental.”
However, on this day Ms. John, would perform as a 1st violinist for the Opera orchestra. And yes, for those who are unaware, Orisha is an accomplished violinist in addition to her known deft skills on the family of steelpan instruments. Orisha is an alumni of the prestigious Juilliard School and a player for both panorama champion Sonatas Steel Orchestra, as well as Pantonic.

WST needs to put up a picture of this beautiful young lady. Orisha continue to keep the Flag flying. I am so proud and happy to have played alongside you in Trinidad and Brooklyn.
Congratulations to Urisha, her mother Hazel, and her father Bodell. Both
parents encouraged and stood behind her all the way. I remember when Urisha started playing pan on Woodruff street with Metro and at practise, she was always with one or both of her parents. God bless all three of them
and I wish Urisha much success in her journey. CURLY !
