The Madras Youth Choir (MYC) paid a musical tribute to the late Indian freedom fighter and social reformer, S Satyamurti. Satyamurti was a prominent leader in the Indian National Congress and played a significant role in Indiaโs struggle for independence from British rule.
Whatโs it about? The tribute, titled โSatyamurti โ A Legacy Told Through Music,โ featured songs and compositions that reflect Satyamurtiโs life, ideals, and contributions to Indian society. The tribute was well-received by the audience and is part of a broader effort to promote awareness and appreciation of Satyamurtiโs legacy.
Tussle with the pandemic: The Madras Youth Choir completed their golden jubilee a couple of years ago but found itself in a pit against the pandemic. The musicians, however, trained themselves as their instructors held classes using Google Meet and Zoom.
- Now that the pandemic is over, the choir is back to running at full steam and is staging performances as well as training new musicians.
