Janashakthi sponsors music project
On May 4, over 200 schoolchildren from two schools in Mullaitivu and
three schools in Kurunegala came together for 'Unite 2014' a classical
music concert organised by the Music Project of Janashakthi Insurance at
the Malayadevi Girls school hall.
The children from the two areas performed together in an orchestra,
creating an important symbol of harmony in Sri Lanka.
The Music Project aims at building musical communities between the
North and the South, inspired by the publicly financed musical education
program in Venezuela, El Sistema.
Like El Sistema, the Music Project aims at changing the trajectory of
children's lives and improve farming communities through the healing
power of music. In this way, it also tries to ensure that the children
have a holistic, therapeutic educational program.
