Fundraising Event- Music Concert
Inner Wheel Club of Subang Selangor
3 March 2023
Inner Wheel Club of Subang Selangor (IWC SS) embarked on an ambitious fundraising idea initiated by President Tara, and an Indian musical concert on the 3rd of March 2023 was the culmination of that initiative.
It took five months of planning and execution by a committee of twelve to work through a gamut of processes, do relevant networking, design posters and invitations, and pursue family and friends to support this venture. Organizing an event, no matter how small, always has its ups and downs and debates and discussions and planning an event of this magnitude meant being prepared for all kinds of scenarios. However, organizing Chair Rani Mohan with her cool demeanor ensured that the committee worked as a team and that the club headed in the right direction.
The concert was a resounding success. The band Tyffin Box enthralled the audience with songs of SP Balasubramanyam, the famous Indian playback singer who lost his life to COVID in 2021. With local celebrity Aanantha Rajaram as the male vocalist and Krithika Chandrashekar the female voice, melodious music transported the audience to an era of Tamil Cinema. Jyotsna Nithyanandan Prakash, a piano virtuoso, Pangasaasini Gowrisan a dream on the violin, Prakash Kandasamy a versatile musician on the tabla, Eliezer Enan, a guitarist and composer, Muthuraman Ganesan, a percussionist and mridangam player enthralled the crowd with their brilliant instrumental music while supporting two very talented vocalists.
IWCSS has successfully raised money to cover many of it’s upcoming projects. For the members, organizing this event has not just been an interesting learning curve, but has instilled in them a sense of confidence in teamwork and friendship.
IWCSS thanks the Temple of Fine Arts for their guidance with regards to catering and official protocols. Generous donors enabled the club to invite staff and students of Myskills, as well as staff and children from Anbu Illam and Karunai Illam to come and enjoy an evening of music and good food. Cancer survivors and caregivers also received sponsored tickets. IWCSS managed to not only raise money but also to spread happiness to the deserving.
The spirit of Inner Wheel was reflected in every aspect of this ‘project’. The club shall continue to keep the candle burning!
