Students of the Central zone of Sri Lanka will have a rare treat when the Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka (SOSL) presents an outreach concert in Kurunegala at the Maliyadeva Girls High School hall today, Sunday July 8.

SOSL’s annual free outreach concerts, commenced in 2013, with the support of the HSBC.  This year, with the generous support of an anonymous donor who requested that the outreach be extended to students beyond Colombo, the SOSL will hold this free concert for students in the Kurunegala, Matale and Kandy Districts. Fifty six schools in these areas have been invited.  The concert is held under the auspices of the Education Ministry.

The programme will feature a selection of dances and waltzes by well known composers Strauss, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, chosen for their melodious, easy to appreciate music.   The students will be introduced to the different instruments of the various sections of the orchestra, given a brief about the composers and will also learn the role of the conductor in interpreting the composer’s vision and drawing out the music from the orchestral musicians.
