Aashavari, Kafi and Shivaranjani. The orchestra and the choir created pure
melody. The composition depicted in a metaphoric manner- the freshness and
excitement of childhood with that rustic but mellifluous instrument, the flute.
The veena played out the new heights to which our nation may rise if all of us
play our part, inspired by our muse. The beautiful use of sitar, the
swarmandal, the flute, the jaltarang, keyboard, drums, mandolin, violin, guitar
and many other instruments, created fine music. The presentation depicted the
ebb and flow of emotions.

that displayed a myriad of emotions that are at the core of our life, our
heart- Veera, Raudra, Shringara, Hasya, Karuna, Bhayanaka, Shanta. Through poetry,
music and dance 260 children created pure magic.
