"Ravi Sara Savi", a dance and percussion concert organised by the Araliya Group of the Old Boys' Association of Pannipitiya Dharmapala Vidyalaya will be held at the BMICH on November 21 at 6.30 p.m.
The concert will feature a range of creations by Ravibandu Vidyapathi; creations based on traditional dance, contemporary or modern dance creations and creations based on percussion instruments. Ravibandu, who is an old boy of Dharmapala Vidyalaya, is, for the first time hold a major performance at his alma mater. Earlier it was composer Rohana Weerasinghe, an old boy of Dharmapala Vidyalaya, was held a concert at the school.
One of the objectives of the concert is to take Sri Lankan percussion instruments to international arena of music. The concert is an initial step towards that end. For instance, Sri Lankan percussion instruments have not been featured, in a big manner, at international percussion concerts and festivals. Sri Lankan percussion instruments have not been recognised by the international music industry. For instance, electronic synthesizer has samples of all music zones in the world; Latin American tones, Japanese sounds. In order to popularize Sri Lankan percussion sounds, it is imperative for Sri Lankans to produce software, which reproduce sounds of Sri Lankan percussion instruments. However, this would in no way reduce the original value of Sri Lankan percussion instruments.
