Brooklyn, New York, USA - It’s that time again, when one tune dominates for the annual New York Panorama competition. And in 2026 Cyah Behave by “Voice” is ruling the roost musically as tune of choice for this season.
At the Saturday September 5 competition in Brooklyn, five of nine steel orchestras will deliver their versions of the tune through their respective arrangers and on-stage performances. However, the defending Panorama champion Pan Evolution Steel Orchestra is not following the trend, instead going for title number three with Full Blown’s Respectfully Yours.
Following are the tunes being played, arrangers, tuners and more.
The competition venue is the grounds at the back of the Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway. The show is expected to get underway at 7:00 p.m.
