featuring:
Emily Lemmerman – Guest Tuner, Builder, and Composer
Inside Out Steelband
and the McCallum HS Knights of Steel
We are excited to present our 29th annual Inside Out Steelband Festival on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 7pm!
Inside Out Steelband and McCallum HS Knights of Steel will perform the music of Emily Lemmerman, an internationally-known professional pan builder and tuner. This performance will even include a live pan tuning demonstration!
As a professional pan tuner, Emily Lemmerman has uncommon access to and perspective on the global steelband landscape. She travels to work with bands around the world- not only as a tuner, but also as an educator, clinician, adviser, and performer. With a formal background in classical music, after a full-time, six-year apprenticeship with Ellie Mannette, and with over 20 years of experience in the field, Emily is one of few people intensively immersed in the broad range of major steelband communities that exist around the world. Emily is a passionate advocate for collaboration and celebration of the diversity that enriches the many successful pan programs that bring joy to communities across the nation. She is very active internationally, working regularly in the Caribbean and Europe. Emily is a charter member of the NSSBE steering committee and serves as Assistant Editor for its newsletter.
This concert will take place at the McCallum High School Arts Center (5600 Sunshine Drive, 78756).
This concert is free, all-ages, and open to the public, so please bring your family and friends for a night of great music!
This project is supported in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
