"We are grateful for the confidence and support of our sponsors BT. The opportunity for developing our musical activities is now assured. With them, we hope to lead the Steel Orchestra into a future of excellence."
"We aspire to bring music into partnership with all types of main stream music while at the same time commissioning new works exclusively for the pans, and developing a repertoire with the aim of building bridges for audiences and players alike, between music of different styles, ages and culture."

Orchestra has provided opportunities for young people
from varied social and racial backgrounds to develop
musical skills, techniques and a wide repertoire
including classical, modern, calypso, pop and jazz
compositions.Travel is encouraged, with frequent performances in London, throughout the UK, Europe and further afield. These visits introduce audiences throughout to the world's music through the medium of instruments originating from Trinidad in the West Indies |
 Some very significant London venues included a performance at one of the garden parties at Buckingham Palace and eight consecutive performances (1994-2001) at the Commonwealth Day Service in Westminster Abbey in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal Family.
