Two young Goan musicians, Syanna Fernandes and Chernoll Mendonca have been selected to represent India at the Commonwealth Youth Orchestra concert series between 8-12 March 2015.
The two musicians are being sent by Child's Play India Foundation, as its representatives. Child's Play India Foundation is a music charity that works to instill positive values and provide social empowerment through classical music to India's underprivileged children. Syanna is a violin teacher at Child's Play India Foundation, Chernoll is concertmaster of the charity's orchestra, Camerata Child's Play India. The charity is privileged to be the only organisation representing the country at this prestigious concert series, a pivotal part of the Commonwealth Week 2015 celebrations which will be attended by Heads of State, Commonwealth High Commissioners, British Ministers of State and Captains of Industry. Their trip to London is sponsored by the Commonwealth Music Partnership, which has Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II as its Diamond Jubilee Patron and Maestro Zubin Mehta as its Music Patron. This is a huge milestone for Goan musicians and a matter of enormous pride and prestige for us all. Syanna and Chernoll will leave for London at the end of this month. Please do interview them about this exciting opportunity and their upcoming trip. You can call me on 9011051950 / [email protected]. Do let me know if you would like more information.
