Ever wondered what “Amazing Grace” sounds like uptempo — with steel drums and strings mixed together?
Over 100 people found out at St. Luke’s Church on Whalley Avenue Monday. They saw the church’s renowned Steel Band mix it up with the string quarter from the Music Haven program located in a storefront steps away from St. Luke’s. (Music Haven, a not-for-profit, gives free after-school lessons to 60 kids.)
