We are happy to let you know that SPIC MACAY ,Dehradun conducted a very special concert tour by Mahua Shankar , who gave nine Kathak recitals in different parts of Garhwal between the 9th and 13th of December.
Eight of the concerts were held in schools of Rural Garhwal where a SPIC MACAY concert took place for the very first time .
She reached out to thousands of fascinated students ranging from a Primary School in Gauchar to the trainees of ONGC at Dehradun . Seven of the venues were Govt Schools /Institutions
After several years , SPIC MACAY held a concert at the very prestigious HNB Central Garhwal University at Srinagar.
As you can see from the photographs , Mahua and her team performed close to Badrinath and Kedarnath !
Our volunteer Lalit Mohan who initiated , planned and followed up the entire tour called it ' Paharon ki god mein '!
A new and enthusiastic volunteer Parvez Ahmed ( based in Srinagar ) accompanied the artistes throughout the tour and we are hoping to do a similar circuit in Chakrata and Tehri early next year .
Since April 2011 , SPIC MACAY has conducted 223 events in Uttrakhand ,reaching out to more than 1 lakh students .
With best wishes for the season and the new year !
