The Steelband Project (Western Cape) was set up in 1997 by Liz Brouckaert and David Wickham. Its main objective is to provide quality music education for young people in the Province, with a particular focus on youth in under-resourced communities and "youth-at-risk". The Project runs programmes in the Cape Town suburbs and townships, as well as the rural communities of the West Coast. There are currently 11 steelbands being taught by the Steelband Project on a weekly basis, with an average size of 15 members. This year 12 steelbands will take to the stage.

We are pleased to host the Steelband Festival in collaboration with the South African College of Music and the Baxter Theatre.
