Sangeetha Megam - an evening of Tamil music directed by Soundarie David Rodrigo, has been rescheduled. The team will bring out some great Tamil music for you today. The turn of events in the country was not conducive to have the show scheduled for May 13.
Soundarie said, “The presenters of this unique Tamil Musical Show – Sangeetha Megam - together with all the musicians and singers have been working hard to bring this to you... and while we understand the struggle of our people, we also feel the need to bring in some music to these days, as a sign of hope and better times ahead. We also feel it is important to continue to support young talent and artistes as a performance platform is their only form of bringing out the best of their talents.
“A lot of hard work has been put in for the show, and it is guaranteed to ease the tension and anxieties we Sri Lankans are facing. We would appreciate your presence, not merely to support the artistes, but also to have an evening of music from some of the great composers of Tamil Cine Music - presented to you by some of Sri Lanka’s young Tamil singers - voices not to be missed,” she said.
Some soul-stirring hits from the 80’s and 90’s of the composers Ilaiyaraja and A.R. Rahman and some new hits of the other music directors of the Tamil cine industry are set to be performed.
Expect some unique arrangements of music and medleys put together to bring back memories and a live performance of Soundarie’s original Tamil love melody “Kaadhalil”.
Local music lovers will be thrilled to watch Prakash K of “Voice” fame belting out some popular hits on stage as part of the line-up of singers. Soundarie will introduce some fresh new voices including Megan Dhakshini Shatrughan, Abinesh Ravichandran, Amaan Rifai and Tanuja Joseph Varghese to the stage. She will also introduce the Soul Sounds Tamil Ensemble.
Sangeetha Megam directed by Soundarie David Rodrigo will premiere at the Elphinstone Theatre Colombo today at 6.30pm.
