We spotlight the contributions to one of our longest serving members — Mr. Kontar Adigun. He played in his first panorama for birdsong in 1976 and to date, Kontar has not missed any of birdsong’s Panorama appearances.  He is the only active member to play in  birdsong’s  three Panorama finals appearances and is confident that next year, he can make it four.

birdsong has independently raised the funding to cover the fees for our Panorama Players. The  Practice schedule has been intensified and is now from Monday to Saturday starting at 7 pm at the birdsong Panyard  #3 St. Vincent Street, Tunapuna.   If you are interested in playing with us please attend practice this week to ensure you are registered as part of our Panorama Side.
