Were you planning to welcome the New Year jiving away at a pub or discotheque to some heavy rock music, with the ‘spirits’ in full flow but would welcome the chance to do something different? Are you tired of the same routine welcome to the New Year? Did you ever wish that the New Year could be welcomed in a more subtle, graceful and peaceful manner? Well, this New Years’ eve, you have an option that would answer all those wishes… and it’s happening at the city’s most hallowed musical venue, The Music Academy !
Carnatica , the music organisation cum portal founded by vocalists Sowmya & Shashikiran has been conducting an Ethnic New Years’ Eve for the past few years where a galaxy of star musicians take time off from their busy December schedules and assemble for a traditional welcome to the New Year with midnight chants and rendition of peaceful classical tunes. The atmosphere would be enhanced with traditional eats and drinks!
On December 31 at 10 p.m., Carnatica in association with The Music Academy is presenting a galaxy of popular vocalists and instrumentalists who will assemble at the Academy to present a two-hour music medley. The highlight would be music meditation for world peace by all the artists. The list of musicians who have generously agreed to take time off from their hectic schedules and participate in the “New-Year-with-a-difference” reads like a who’s-who of Chennai’s music fraternity. Popular stars and bright young talents will participate.
The event will have a few select individual performances and group renditions at midnight. A couple of surprise items will also be thrown in. Traditional snacks and non alcoholic drinks from Sangeetha Fast Foods will be served. Be there to welcome the New Year with a difference!
