The third day of Samarpan - Joy of Giving Week Celebrations was a milestone in the life of music lovers. Coming together for the first time, to support a wonderful cause of 'Giving to Rehabilitate', renowned musicians Violinist Shri. Kumaresh, Flautist Shri Praveen Godkhindi, Mridangam Artiste Shri. Patri Satish Kumar and Khanjira Artiste Shri. Guruprasanna performed at Raag - A Fundraiser Concert for the rehabilitation measures undertaken by Peoples' Science Institute (PSI) for the victims of the Uttarakhand Floods. Professor N M Agrawal welcomed the guests with mementos.
In the Jugalbandi, the audience experienced a unique amalgamation of The Art of Giving and The Joy of Music. The composition Krishna in the raga Mohanam was the audience favourite. The fusion piece in the ragas Saraswati and Keeravani enthralled the audience. The standing ovation that the artistes received at the end of the concert was testimony to the greatness of the artistes and their performances.
"It was an honour, privilege and pleasure to have been the audience to this concert", said Mr. Gautam Sridharan from Spic Macay Chapter of IIMB. "This was clearly one of the highlights of the first edition of Joy of Giving Week! I hope this tradition continues in the coming years and people celebrate the art of giving and the joy of music", said Mr. Srikanth Prabhu, President, Vikasana, the social service initiative of IIMB, which is organising the Joy of Giving Week Celebrations.
Professor Padmini Srinivasan, Faculty Coordinator of Vikasana, presented mementos as a token of gratitude and appreciation to the artistes, who consented to perform gratis for this noble cause. Through this concert we were able to collect contributions over Rs. 25,000 which will be donated to People's Science Institute, Dehradun (PSI - http://peoplesscienceinstitute.org/) to support them in their third phase of rehabilitation. The IIMB Community has already donated over Rs. 1.5 lakhs to PSI earlier this year to support the first phase of relief work.
