New York,
USA -
Stanley
Joseph is a
highly
intelligent,
talented,
articulate
and
conscientious
young man
who exudes
quiet
confidence,
and whose
leadership
qualities
are beyond
reproach.
After all,
he is -
at the “tender” age
of
twenty-three
-
the
captain of
the New York
panorama
champions
Sonatas
Steel
Orchestra.
In an
exclusive
When
Steel Talks
(WST)
interview
just before
the recent
New York
Panorama,
Stanley
spoke about
his
relationship
with the
steelpan
culture and
art form,
his duties
with the
world-class
music
organization
Sonatas, and
his next
great
challenge -
the US Navy.

Stanley “Nico” Joseph
With a
long-standing
love for
music and
the steelpan
instrument,
and now with
sights set
firmly on a
career
possibly
relative to
advanced
computers
and
electronics,
Stanley is
on his way
to making
his mark in
the US Navy
and serving
his country.
With a
battery of
leadership
skills most
recently
honed as
Sonatas’ captain
and team
leader, the
Navy is
fortunate to
be able to
access the
abilities
and
qualities of
Mr. Joseph.
Of note,
when asked
by WST if he
would be
perhaps
taking a
tenor pan
with him
when he
enters the
Navy,
Stanley was
already
ahead, and
enthusiastic
to the point
of even looking
forward to
the
possibility
of getting a
steelband
program
underway
once there!
Now, meet Stanley
“Nico” Joseph in
the WST
spotlight.
