On
October 21, 2011 the portals of Sri Venkateshwar
International School, Sector-18, Dwarka reverberated with joie de vivre as
it celebrated its Annual Concert ‘VIVAAN’. The students surpassing expectations;
took the audience to a world, where mysticism of the mythological amalgamated
with the contemporary.

The
Principal welcomed all on the momentous occasion and also reiterated the
commitment of the Sri VIS family to make education joyful and purposeful
towards discovery of self.
The
pageantry then started with the heart rending rhythmic beats of the orchestra; whose
melody the `The Fangs Symphony-Version 2’
transported one across the lands to the mystic Arabian sands. One genre of
beats led to the other as the nimble dancers took the stage grooving away to
the lilting tunes of folklore from Haryana showcasing the cultural panorama of
the nation, followed by a contemporary dance item, reflecting the dichotomy
within and revival of hope.
Yet
more mellifluous sounds pervaded the environs as the young sufi singers took
the stage; reviving qawwali tradition; seeking divine intervention and
blessings. The stellar performance garnered a hearty ovation from the audience
for trying a niche of the most accomplished.
The
Ballad `Dashavatar’ presented by the
pre-primaries and primary students elucidated the blend of modernity with
traditionalism in approach to life. The reincarnation of the avatars of Lord
Vishnu took one back in time and recreated the oft quoted and presented need
for the victory of the good over evil. The sheer elegance of the depiction of
scenes and narratives, the nuances, the stances and the expressions highlighted
the fine artistry of the young artistes. The larger than life props appeared
custom made for the sequences and captivated the audiences.
The
concept and its entire execution, was an In-House attempt of Sri VIS students
and teachers, making it all the more educative besides being highly enjoyable. The show saw mesmerizing light effects
integrating the techies’ creations of backdrops and slides. Principal along
with, Ms Shama Kapoor- HM Pre-Primary Wing, Ms Priya Braria HM, Mr Harish Sharma Admn. Officer, Ms Malini
Pandey Primary Coordinator, Mr Kishore, Mr Ajay, Mr Abhishek, Ms Renuka, Ms
Navita, Ms Nidhi Joshi, Ms Arti and the
entire faculty and performers deserve accolades for the scintillating presentation
and the learning imparted to the all members
of school, through the annual production.
As the creative talents got a platform to exhibit
their potential; it was also a time to give due credit to the outstanding
achievers in the various scholastic and co-scholastic fields. The CHAIRMAN’S TROPHY FOR LEADERSHIP was awarded to SHAUNAQ NARINDRA and the PRINCIPAL’S

After
the sojourn to the mythological era, all were transported back to the present
through the eclectic display of the rhythmic dancers. Once again a wide array
of dances graced the stage, showcasing Hip Hop, Ballroom and Salsa styles with
elan and poise.
With
the foot tapping dances, the show came to an end leading to the beginning of
the season of festivities. ` Vivaan’

of dance and music hoping to permeate the joyousness in each heart.
