Festival of choirs
View(s):It’s not often that we hear four choirs from Colombo’s leading schools at one concert but this is the rare opportunity for lovers of music to hear the choirs of Bishop’s College, Ladies’ College, Methodist College and St. Peter’s College as they perform a varied programme of music, ranging from popular music to sacred music.
The concert at the Lionel Wendt on Thursday, June 25 at 7 p.m., is in aid of the Organ Fund of the Cathedral of Christ the Living Saviour. Neranjan de Silva will be on the keyboards to accompany some of the choirs. The De Lanerolle Brothers will also join the concert and raise their voices for a final combined item with all the choristers.
Each intermediate choir taking the stage would have 50 to 60 voices and a noteworthy feature is that they will sing unamplified.
Tickets priced at Rs. 1,000, Rs. 750 and Rs. 300 (balcony) are available at the Lionel Wendt
