Calcutta Youth Choir: Performs in St. James School


The Calcutta Youth Choir performs at St. James' School. The choir sang 14 folk songs, taking the audience on a musical journey across the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Folk tunes from Odisha, Assam, Maharashtra and Goa had the audience tapping their feet. A love song from Czech Republic and a medley from the Ivory Coast and Israel added an international flavour to the evening. Pianist Rajlakshmi Syam got the show rolling with musical notes from Russia and concluded her recital with Piyu bole piya bole. "The Calcutta Youth Choir is known for its cultural bent and the concert stood true to the ethos and tradition that St. James' upholds," said principal T.H. Ireland. Picture by Koushik Saha
