Liam Teague & Robert Chappell with Panoramic
World Showcase Concert
Thursday, 2:00 p.m.

From concertos with orchestra, to chamber music, to jazz, to Panorama steel bands, Trinidadian Liam Teague’s career goal is to expand the literature for steelpan and elevate the recognition of this important instrument. Robert Chappell blends his experience in classical piano, jazz, and world percussion into compositions with an understanding of the commonalities of musical expression. The pair formed the Liam Teague + Robert Chappell duo in 1998 and the Latin Caribbean jazz group Panoramic in 2002 with conguero/marimbista Orlando Cotto, drummer Phil Beal, saxophonist Doug Stone, and bassist Josh Ramos. Notable performances by the group include the National Concert Hall in Taiwan, the St. Lucia and Trinidad Jazz Festivals, and two PASICs. Teague and Chappell direct steelpan and percussion studies, respectively at Northern Illinois University.
