When Steel Talks

Pantonic Takes MIT by Storm

What happens when you mix one of the best steel orchestras in North America with one of the most prestigious and respected higher learning intuitions in the world?  You get current New York panorama champions Pantonic Steel Orchestra and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).  This weekend the stage side of the world famous orchestra performed for the MIT community whose faculty, students, staff and visitors showed that they were equally versed in cultural matters as they are in matters of science and technology.  As an added bonus, items from the performance were recorded for Pantonic's upcoming CD/DVD.  The much-anticipated release is the follow-up to the group's critically-acclaimed Tonic for the Soul  and Pantonic Live! Limited Edition CDs.  Click on link for full story and sneak video preview.
