Newark, New Jersey - Oasis Youth Steel Pan Ensemble, part of the Oasis Folk Arts Academy program directed by Bevan Black.
The steel pan ensemble is just part of the community initiative of the folk arts academy, Black's brainchild.
The renowned Thwaites brothers - Sherwin, Sean and Sheldon are intricately involved with this youth pan ensemble, and also supported and performed with the pannists at the show. Now - in Newark, New Jersey - there has been a critical community outreach via the steelpan art form through the combined efforts of the Thwaites' Pan United Youth Movement initiative and Black's folk arts academy. Sherwin and Sean Thwaites, both Berkeley School of Music graduates, are Pan United's musical directors.
