Steel Band Festival 2020

The fifth CultureMix Steel Band Festival’s return to Reading’s prestigious Hexagon Theatre to showcase the fabulous talents of Berkshire school children who learn to play steel pans with CultureMix Arts is cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.

For 2020 CultureMix tutors work in partnership with eight schools across the UK’s Thames Valley to set up a Gifted and Talented group and develop a repertoire of music for the event.

More than one hundred children take part performing a range of music that demonstrates the versatility of the steel pan to a wider audience.

An evening of music, song and dance with affordable tickets this is an event not to be missed. Tickets: readingarts.com or call 0118 9606060.
