Tribute, at British School Auditorium

Tribute, a musical concert by the students of Ruvini Hapugalle Gunasekera will be held on (Sunday) June 2 at 6 pm at the British School Auditorium, 63 Elvitigala Mawatha, Colombo 8.

The concert will be dedicated to Ruvini Hapugalle Gunasekera’s mother Indranee Hapugalle, who was also her first piano teacher.

Tribute will feature a rich galaxy of varying musical styles, including Classics, Jazz, Broadway, Disney, light Classics, Pop and Hollywood theme songs. Popular classical masterpieces, by composers such as Chopin, Debussy and Rachmaninoff, will be performed as piano solos by award winning star students. The evening’s musical firmament will be studded by a number of piano duets that the audience is bound to savour.

The popular Canon in D, Carmen Fantasy, Tango in D, Summertime, I got Plenty of Nuttin, Mardi Gras, Cabaret and Havah Nagilah will constitute some of the evening’s constellation of duets. A few violin and vocal solos will add a tinge of glitter to the programme.

Tickets will be on sale at The Commons from Friday (May 17) onwards. All proceeds will be donated to the ‘Music Project,’which uses music as a link language to build bridges between the communities in the North and South of Sri Lanka. The Music Project will utilise the funds to buy educational and music support material.
