OPENING GALA, STEEL ORCHESTRA
POSITIVE VIBRATIONS YOUTH STEEL ORCHESTRA

Positive Vibrations Youth Steel Orchestra
(PVYSO) has been sharing its melodies nationally and internationally since 1966, starting in the suburban basement of its founder and present Executive Director, Lorna Green.  With a year, the group relocated to Hyattsville and the rest is history.  This young energetic group has performed for Olympic torch ceremonies and at countless private and public venues and with many world renowned musicians including steelpan virtuoso Liam Teague, Robert Greenidge and saxophonist Auturo Tappin.  The students attend the Academy hosted by the Cultural Academy for Excellence in the greater Washington, D.C. area.  They study music theory and practical steelpan pieces, as well as learn a wide variety of music arranged by the academy's highly credentialed instructors.  They are given theory and practical examinations annually.  The students are also tutored in mathematics, language arts and science and have an opportunity to work with an artist-in-residence.  Scholarship programs and life skill components, including community service hours, are also part of the extensive program of the Cultural Academy for Excellence.  This impressive group is one of the best steel orchestras in the country with a list of impressive rewards and it is a fitting spectacular for our Opening Gala.    $30 donation ticket   $5 student
