Montreal, Quebec, Canada - The 2009 Summer steelpan music events continue to roll on with a bang. Recently When Steel Talks found itself in Montréal, Quebec, Canada to cover the annual Montreal International Steelpan Festival. Now in its 9th year - the two–day festival is the brainchild of steelpan activist, organizer and educator Salah Wilson. Mr. Wilson, a seasoned steelpan musician and educator is well known for his musical accomplishments and for the championing of musical literacy in the Quebec area. However for this endeavor Mr. Wilson felt it was important to create meaningful performance opportunities that had international significance and impact. Furthermore these performances will enhance the multi-cultural artistic attraction of the city of Montréal.

Great reading about the two-day event!
I need to get to Montreal some day because lots of progressive things happen there.
I know that you will continue to experience success because of your vision and your passion to see your dreams to fruition.
This is the tenth Anniversary year of the Pan In Schools Coordinating Council and your contribution to our development has had a profound effect on our direction.
God's blessings to you and your family.

Thank you for your meaningful words. It is very encouraging, next year is also our tenth edition of our Montreal International Steelpan Festival and we are certainly looking to improve on this year's Festival. We had Arima Golden Symphony visit us (a couple of days late) after the Festival but we still accomodated them, they are presently on their way to the airport in Toronto to head back home to T&T. They had a good time as we were still able to put somethings together to showcase their band. We have just had a request from Barry Mannette to visit with his group of Junior Starlift members to participate in our Junior Panorama competition...so it is looking pretty good and we have already started working on 2010 Festival. the dates to remember is the last weekend in June.
again thank you Pat and Best wishes to you and the program of Pan in Schools Coordinating Council
