A steelband made up of young people from Denmark will take center stage in Christiansted this weekend.
The Danish steelband, called Vendsyssel Marimba Steelband (VMS), consists of
young men and women ranging in age from 17 to 19 . Members were selected
from four public music schools in Denmark.
The group will be playing on Friday at a free concert at King’s Alley Walk at 5 p.m. The group will perform again on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Wahoo Willy’s restaurant.
In Denmark, the VMS band performs as musical ambassadors specializing in
Caribbean steel pan music. VMS is visiting the U.S. Virgin Islands to explore the island's music and culture. The group played on St. Thomas last weekend.
