NAADRO LIVE 2012 at the Nelum Pokuna

Fostering and developing the ‘taste’ of the Sri Lankan students, breaking through the traditional thinking frames built around ‘The Art of Percussion’, and refining the complications of western percussions, and introducing percussion art with the correct technologies and methods to the student population of Sri Lanka; the Let’s Do it with NAADRO programme which was organized by the Oriental Music Association of Royal College - Colombo in collaboration with Naardo and Tiara Rollo, was successfully held among the schools of Galle, Colombo, Kurunegala, Kegalle and Kandy areas during the last four months.

Rakitha Wickramaratne, the founder and the leader of NAADRO (also a brand endorser of the world’s largest percussion instrument manufacturer - Latin Percussion) along with his team members, empowers the programme with their knowledge and dedication.

With the huge success the program gained over the past four months; NAADRO members were able to spread this program and its contents through the whole country by holding an inter school competition and producing a television programme which telecasts correspondingly.

By reaching the finale of this programme, NAADRO intends to bring those young and talented budding percussionists to the public eye. Plans have already been laid out by the NAADRO team for the finale - a concert of an international level to be held at the Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre on December 30 from 7 pm onwards where the best chosen performers would experience their first major concert/public performance.
