Antiguan musician and cultural ambassador Khan Cordice has been honoured in Toronto for his outstanding contribution to the steelpan art form.
Cordice, Director of Culture and arranger for the Hell’s Gate Steel Orchestra, received recognition from the Canadian Steelpan Federation and the Pan Arts Network during a special ceremony celebrating Caribbean musical excellence.
Expressing his gratitude in a social media post, Cordice said he was “eternally grateful” for the honour. “Thank you to the people of Canada for this. I am honoured and humbled to be able to share a bit of what I do with you and your people,” he wrote, also commending the organizations for “changing lives of many in our communities.”
The recognition adds to Cordice’s growing list of international achievements as a leading steelpan educator, arranger, and advocate for cultural development.
His visit to Canada coincided with the Antigua and Barbuda Association of Toronto’s 44th Independence Dinner and Dance, where he also served as featured speaker alongside performers including Claudette “CP” Peters.
