more-inA politician with movie-star looks and hero of the legend of Camelot, John F Kennedy achieved much, before his assassination cruelly abbreviated his presidency. “Last year, Neeta Helms, the founder of Classical Movements, invited us to participate as she found our sound unique. This was a medley of seven songs, comprising lyrics from a garland of Indian languages. The grand finale at the Kennedy Center saw MYC showcasing ‘Mazhai, the rain song’, a complex six-part harmony composed by the late MB Srinivasan, founder-director of the MYC, set to lyrics penned by Subramania Bharati. The nearly-300 participants ended up learning a Bengali song by Tagore.”MYC also performed a harmonised choral piece, ‘Kaavadi chindu’ at the Murugan temple in Maryland.
