Wellbeing Week RAAG Concert

 

On the last day of Wellbeing Week, several students took part in Habs Indian Charity concert. It was called RAAG which means ‘beautiful melody’ and was an exciting fusion of Asian music with a Western taste.

The concert included numerous Bollywood songs, a cover of Shape of You by Ed Sheeran with an Indian twist and traditional Indian classical music. The talented team included sitars, tablas, harmoniums as well as vocalists all coming together for a wonderful concert. With the help of Dr. Frances Shepard – who runs her own Music foundation and has a PhD in the ethnomusicology of India – the students organised this School concert which was entertaining for all.

RAAG was a fundraiser for charities, with the money this year going to Veerayatan who strive to uplift and empower humanity – guided by the principles of Humanitarianism (Seva), Education (Shiksha) and Development (Sadhna). Keeping these principles in mind the trustees of Veerayatan have taken many steps from providing support to the education establishments for underprivileged children in Bihar, by supporting the modern eye hospital and a well equipped orthopaedic centre in Rajgir, India.
