Dear Donors,

On behalf of Madras Youth Choir, my sincere thanks and gratitude for your contribution in response to our request for funds to support our campaign. We are overwhelmed with your response and with support coming from friends, family, well-wishers and corporate, we are all set to go.

Preparations are in full swing with regular practice sessions. In addition to our repertoire, we will be singing two pieces along with participants from 18 countries, labelled as Mass Choir. The first piece is called Journey Home, which explores the emotional feelings of immigrants who find a new home and life laced with love and family bonding. The second piece Ansanm Ansanm is in French and inspired by the ideals of John Kennedy – Justice, Gratitude, Courage, Freedom and Service.

MYC at the request of the organiser's Classical Movements is presenting a new piece which will be premiered at the Festival. As a musical tribute to the values and spirit of JFK, this is a medley of 7 songs in 6 Indian languages where the compositions are drawn from India’s National Poet Subramania Bharathi, Indian folk tradition, Martin Luther King and M B Srinivasan, founder of Madras Youth Choir in 1971 and one of the pioneers of Indian Choral music.

We see your support as an enabler to present Indian Choral Music of the Legendary MB Srinivasan’s compositions woven around themes of National Integration, Human & Social values, Women’s Empowerment and Nature in the International Choral Music Festival at the iconic Kennedy Centre in Washington DC scheduled to be held from 27 June to 3 July 2017.
