Evening Concert Description
Resound Handpan House and World Bridge Foundation invite you to feel a vibration beyond borders. 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 concert is part of a weekend-long handpan retreat in Asheville, NC. To learn more about joining, please visit: https://www.viewcy.com/resoundhandpanhouse

Brief History of the Handpan
Most people agree that the founders of the handpan are Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer of PANArt Hangbau AG in Bern, Switzerland. The two were career steel pan builders as well as inventors of multiple other musical instruments. Felix started building steel pans in Switzerland in 1976 and supplied many of the instruments for the steel bands that arose in the country in the 1980’s and 1990’s.
In the late 1990’s, Reto Weber, a hand percussionist, came to Felix and Sabina and had the idea for changing a steel pan into a “sounding pot in steel with some notes to play with the hands”. The idea was to mix the sound of the South India Ghatam with the sound of a steel pan. The word “Hang” came from the Bernese German word for “Hand”.
