MUSICIANS REFLECT ON EXPERIENCES IN TAIWAN; THANK GOVERNMENT FOR OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN CULTURAL EXCHANGE

 

Basseterre, St. Kitts, September 27, 2018 (SKNIS): The Governments of St. Kitts and Nevis and the Republic of China (Taiwan), came in for high praise when members of the Cayon Pantastic Steel Orchestra, lifted their voices in thanks and appreciation for the opportunity given to the 17-member team that journeyed to Taiwan to engage in a cultural exchange.
