Musi-care Cultural & Charitable Trust, started in 2001, is a group of people involved in philanthropic activities. They are involved in the upliftment of the downtrodden and support of the physically challenged, and organise social awareness programmes like blood and eye donation camps.

One of the programmes they organise is the night-long 12-hour Gospel music concert. Organised by founder-chairman Jollee Abraham, the initiative is supported and graced by well-known musicians like M.S. Viswanathan, K.J. Yesudas, S.P. Balasubrahmaniam, S. Janaki, P. Susheela and Unni Menon, among others.

For the 15th anniversary of the concert, renowned playback singers, musicians, religious leaders, film personalities and celebrities will participate in the concert.

There will be singing, dancing, performance of solo instruments and small skits, and the concert, which will be held from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., will be streamed live for viewers around the world. The concert will be held at St. George’s school ground on May 8.
