LAMP Trust & Lorraine Music Academy are organizing “A MUSICAL EVENING CELEBRATING OUR NATION’S REPUBLIC DAY" on Thursday 24th January 2013 @ 7:30pm : Epicentre Auditorium, Apparel House, Sector 44, Gurgaon.
In keeping with LAMP’s objective of nurturing talent and providing a platform for the exhibition of talent, we will have the next generation of global Indians aged 4 to 25 years – students from various schools across the National Capital Region & adults – who will perform along with professional musicians who have performed across India and the globe.
The musical evening will include patriotic songs, dance, poetry, songs to entertain, instrumental music – classical instruments along with folk instruments. This will be a very unique musical experience with a blend of Classical & Folk instruments from India & the globe merging to create a medley of rich folk, tribal & world music.
The evening will include performances by:
• students of the top schools of Gurgaon
• winners of the recently concluded Nation-wide Talent Contest “LAMP-iCONGO Karmaveer Chakra for Music 2012”
• “Nrityapan” – a professional dance troupe of highly talented girls from economically backward society of Bareilly who have travelled and performed across the globe!
Aubrey Aloysius, founder of LAMP Trust, says “We present this concert to the National Capital Region to inspire us all to appreciate, enjoy and learn music at a new level. We desire all our children to learn music & the arts. We bring good music and art to the community, not just for entertainment, but for true education and appreciation. Teaching children and adults how to understand & appreciate music and to play an instrument is our passion and mission. We believe that the right kind of music makes the right kind of person. A good diet of the right kind of music gives you good mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual health.”
