I had never heard a flute choir before. They are quite rich and fun to listen to. I have heard a steel drum philharmonic, in person, and that was stunning. I don't know if they have made any recordings.

Thanks James.

It's a joy to discover new combinations of instruments and sounds within the wind band world. There's so much more coming too!

We'll track down some steel drum recordings and program some as themes present themselves.

Thanks for listening!
