Resound Handpan House

Resound Handpan House invites you to feel a vibration beyond borders as an international collective of handpan artists comes together in a one-of-a-kind musical collaboration. As the evening unfolds, the group will perform pieces high-lighting both their own unique style and the collaborative magic that happens when artists create together. The handpan is a hybrid percussion instrument that combines both aspects from the steel pan from Trinidad, as well as the clay drum named "Ghatam" from South India.

This Resound concert presentation features North American and Internationally recognized handpan artists. This concert is part of a weekend-long handpan retreat in Black Mountain, NC.
