I went to a concert by the West Michigan Symphony last evening and had the unexpected pleasure of seeing and hearing a banjo as part of the orchestra! The piece was the Symphony no. 1, “Afro-American” by composer William Grant Still. A great composition and well done by the orchestra.

I wonder who played the banjo (tenor banjo). Often, an orchestra will find a local guitarist to play the banjo. Years ago, I loaned my Paramount Style A tenor to a local guitarist so he could play the banjo part in "Porgy and Bess."
