'Daivik Amruth' Konkani spiritual monthly which has completed its decennial year marked the celebration by staging a musical ballet 'Prem Ragini' at Cordel Church grounds, Kulshekar here on Sunday February 21.
The ballet, based on the Bible from the creation of the earth to the resurrection of Jesus, was presented by Sangeeth Abhinay Academy Mumbai under the leadership of Fr Dr Charles Vas. The enchanting show sent the spectators into a different world with superb blending of music and dance.
Two separate stage programmes were held during the show, one by ‘Daivik Amruth' Konkani spiritual monthly and another by Sangeeth Abhinay Academy Mumbai.
In the stage programme held by Sangeeth Abhinay Academy Mumbai, Fr Valerian Mendonca from Barkur parish, an accomplished musician with more than 35 musical CDs in four different languages to his credit, was felicitated. Fr Charles Vas SVD read out the citation. Officer-bearers of the Academy were on the dais.
