If the playlist cuisted on your phone has become a tad predictable, make a bine for some live for the Chaudhya Memorial Hall and don’t be surprised if your feet start exploiting a tattoo. Kiara Academy of Performing Arts will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a music showcase at the end of this week.
Kiara director Wendy Dixon says that the mood has a series that the academy has been following for the last few years. “This is our fifth concert and that is why we have called it 5. It is a sign for Dave Brubech’s ‘Tech Five’ and we will present a coral rendering of that Jazz composition.”
The academy kickstarts its 20th year with this concert and concludes the ceremony in 2026, says Wendy, “As we always do, we will bring various styles of music on stage. Our single and group presentations will complete classical music, Jazz, Classic Rock, Chorl music and more, which will accompany the youth, which will complete the sanyus.”

In addition to a special presentation after Broadway and Disney Musical in the second half, the congregation is being tightly wrapped in.

With about six concerts programs under his belt, they have gained excellence in keeping the show together. Similarly, our six -member group has finished themselves in the use of their colors.”
