Welcoming the guests, Dr. Jyoti Bose, Director of Springdales Schools, suggested that the Choir Festival is not just a celebration of the power of music and the joys of singing in a choir but the fact that music is a universal emotion and transcends barriers of time and language.

Additionally, as a tribute to cultural fusion, the Invocation Dance, Harmony, showcased a flawless synthesis of Indian classical and Western contemporary dance forms.
