Groups from India and Sri Lanka to present a show in Beijing

Two chorus groups from India and Sri Lanka came together to present a show for Beijing audiences over the weekend. The concert at the Beijing Forbidden City Concert Hall was entitled "Perfect Concord".

The concert opened with an Indian hymn called "Mysterious River". Performing the song was the Shilong Chamber Music Choir from northeast India. The group was set up in 2001 to enhance mutual understanding between different regions.

Later, the Soul Sounds Group from Sri Lanka took the stage in ruby colored dresses. The all-girl ensemble enthralled the audience with their unique ability to touch heartstrings.

The creator of the group, Soundarie David, is also a professional lawyer.

Their repertoire ranged from Western classics to traditional folklore as well as contemporary pieces.
