A Final Wish List at The British School auditorium
Music.Inc presents A Final Wishlist
|
Music.inc, directed by Shannon Jacob will present A Final Wish List
on December 12 and 13 at The British School auditorium at 7.30pm.
Proceeds of the show will be used to honor a wish-list for the sexually
abused girls represented by Emerge, and to host a fabulous Christmas
party for them, as an opportunity for the girls to leave their worries
behind and have some fun.
Each time Music.Inc takes the stage to packed audiences, its purpose
has remained mutual and committed towards a cause that they feel
strongly towards. Music.Inc, a group of artists specialising in singing,
choreography and orchestration, has contributed their collective talents
to give back to a needy cause. Proceeds of past Music.
Inc concerts, The Wish List and The Christmas Wish List, went towards
granting wishes for children suffering with cancer and to purchase much
needed medication and equipment for the Children's Ward of the National
Cancer Institute, Mahargama.
Music.Inc's latest concert, A Final Wish List is dedicated to a group
of innocent and youthful women, between the ages 10-18, who have left
their home and communities, or have been removed from their homes due to
abuse or the threat of abuse, and are courageously testifying in court.
Music.Inc has partnered with the Emerge Lanka Foundation to improve the
lives of an amazing group of girls who have suffered from abuse.

Work of Emerge
Lanka Foundation – the cause |
Emerge is an organization that partners with resource-poor shelters
that would typically take in sexually abused girls. Emerge has
identified a need to rebuild the lives of sexually victimized girls so
that they are prepared to face the world on their own, and start afresh
once their court cases are settled. The Foundation, which is a global
movement, is guided by the belief that happy, smart, independent young
women can change the course of society for the better.
Emerge equips sexually abused girls with skills and resources for
their futures, using a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes
leadership, life skills, and business knowledge, while simultaneously
generating a financial foundation for each programme participant through
the creation of unique, Emerge branded-jewelry.
A show by Music.Inc always delivers. This unique and energetic group
of musicians believes in presenting a line-up that's well-loved and
charismatic, to give their audience a fantastic night-out. The concert
will be an opportunity for audiences to experience popular songs
re-created at a live music venue by some of the most talented musicians
in the country, from different, ages and backgrounds, male and female.
The programme for the A Final Wish List will include contemporary, pop,
classics, alternative, and rock music and songs, as well as Christmas
carols, to get you in the mood for the Season.
Songs to look forward to will be Some Nights by Fun., a pop ballad
that is become a huge hit; Show Must Go On from the blockbuster musical
Moulin Rouge; Everyday People by Sly and the Family Stone, and the
beautifully arranged Carol of the Bells by Celtic Women, along with
Music.Inc’ original compositions. If you would like to learn more about
