About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
Kristian Paradis is an active steelpan performer and teacher based in Philadelphia. He has performed around the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia, including concert appearances with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. He taught steelpan at the University of Delaware for 15 years, where he lead and arranged music for a 20 member steel drum orchestra, as well as teaching private lessons on steel drum technique. Kristian performs on steel drums along with pre-recorded professional backing tracks, to give a fully orchestrated sound with only a single performer. He also performs solo classical music for wedding ceremonies or intimate gatherings. His steel drum duo, trio, and quartet are also available for events and venues where a larger group is appropriate, from backyard bashes to Atlantic City casinos. Please enjoy the video and audio samples on Kristian's GigMasters profile, and do not hesitate to contact him with any questions or requests.
