For more than nine decades, Trinidad All Stars has been part of the story of the steelpan in Trinidad and Tobago. Now, as the orchestra looks ahead, its representatives are speaking about a future that goes beyond performance alone.

Public Relations Officer Staci-Ann Patrick says the vision is the development of the band’s home into a wider cultural space.

“For Trinidad All-Stars, Neville Jules Junction, George and Duke Street, I would like people to walk into Trinidad All Star Steel Orchestra and see a multicultural performance site. I would like people to see how we can combine pan with other art forms and really make it a performance centre outside of the Queen’s Park Savannah or Jean Pierre Complex, outside of what people normally go to places for, for concerts.”
