A virtuoso performance

[Ronald Benjamin]

On Saturday, November 6th, 2021, Professor Liam Teague of Trinidad and Tobago displayed a masterful pan performance in a NIU Faculty Steel Pan Recital. He was immaculately dressed. His chrome pan shone as if it was a mirror. The sound of his pan induced the taste of honey . He played the standardized cycle of fifth treble pan. He opened the recital with percussive strokes on the side of the pan. Then the professor dazzled the listening audiences with lightning runs and stalk virtuosic glissandos. Later in the recital, professor Teague was well supported by cello, violins, viola, harp, piano, and percussion. Professor Teague Faculty Steel Pan recital was a precursor to pan playing in the twenty-second century.
