The steelpan (also known as a pan or steel drum) is a musical percussion instrument originating in Trinidad and Tobago. It probably first appeared in classical music in Malcolm Arnold's delightful Commonwealth overture. I know of only one concerto for it, by American composer Jan Bach. It is played by Liam Teague with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra under Paul Freeman on Albany.
