Alvin Rostant - Sweet Singing Steel

Experience the magic of Sweet Singing Steel, a dynamic multimedia showcase of 18 original compositions by Trinidad and Tobago’s own Alvin Rostant. A celebrated musician, award-winning steel pan composer, and entertainer based in Australia, Alvin brings the steelpan—Trinidad and Tobago’s iconic instrument—to life in this innovative performance.

Spanning four decades of music, this 1.5-hour show features selections from his albums Calypso Mambo and Rise, his PANZfest 2015 Champion arrangement De Band Coming, and the reigning Australian Calypso Monarch song Ah Trini Life. Alvin’s illustrious career has seen him tour internationally with Amral’s Trinidad Calypso Cavaliers Steelband, and he proudly represented the Caribbean at the 2018 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony. His contributions were further recognized with the Australian Prime Minister’s Award for Community in 2001.

In 2024, Alvin performed at the Australian Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago for the 50 Years of Trade celebration, highlighting his role as Australia’s Ambassador of the Steel Drum.
