This year the Annual Christmas Concert not only showcased remarkable performances but also served as a platform to emphasize and celebrate fundamental ideals that constitute the bedrock of human existence.
The event commenced with an invocation and a warm welcome address by Ms Selvaraj, the Senior Academic Coordinator, creating a festive and inclusive atmosphere. The programme featured diverse performances, including the lively segment ‘Anna's Christmas Overture’ by Grade 1 and a soulful rendition titled ‘A Celestial Noel’ comprising a Latin hymn ‘Santus’ followed by the divine ‘O Holy Night’ by the school choir. The presence of the Committee of Management and distinguished guests added prestige to the occasion.
The overarching theme of the concert, ‘We, The People: A Chronicle of Shared Vision’, ingeniously highlighted values such as democracy, liberty, fraternity, equality, secularism, justice and others that are pivotal in shaping a just and inclusive society. Throughout the programme, these ideals were intricately woven into the performances in the form of dances, dance dramas and choral recitation, creating a narrative that resonated with the audience. The final performance by Grade 10 students, showcasing a joyful India, was not merely an artistic expression but also a reflection of the core values that bind communities together.
Ms. Kotian, the Principal, further amplified the significance of these ideals in her thought-provoking address. By eloquently hailing the Indian Constitution and its visionary principles of democracy, liberty, fraternity, justice, equality, and secularism, she underscored the importance of these values in guiding human progress. Her speech likely served as a call to embrace and uphold these ideals in our daily lives, fostering a sense of responsibility and collective commitment.
The concert with its dual focus on both festive celebration and thematic depth, left a lasting impression on the attendees. Beyond being an entertaining showcase of talent and culture, the event became a powerful reminder of the shared values that bind us together and the importance of actively preserving and promoting these ideals for a better, more harmonious future.
