In a bid to bring out the inherent talent of children and involve them in cultural activities, Spartans Cultural Trust, a voluntary cultural association, launched its unit at Port Kalavani auditorium here on Thursday.
A team of four – Kanthi Dutt, Manjari, Sanat and Tanmayee -- all of them studying Classes X to XI, intend to take up a number of initiatives, including free training camps to the needy. “We want to provide a stage to those who want to nurture their talent in singing, dancing and painting. Going forward, we would be reaching out to the rural areas to help those living in remote areas,” said Kanthi Dutt, who leads the team.
A musical tribute, playing instruments like veena, violin, tabla and keyboard, was put up by 18 young musicians of Sri Sri Music Academy. As part of the inaugural show, artworks of Manjari and Sanat were displayed at the venue. A six-year-old Srujana entertained the audience with her magic show.
Efforts laudedAfter lauding the efforts of the representatives of the trust, singer S.P. Sailaja, who attended the programme as chief guest, said: “It is a thoughtful initiative to help provide a stage for upcoming artistes to bring out their talent. Hope many youngsters will find this as a new platform to hone their skills.” Later, the singer said that she would extend support to the team members of the trust in whatever way possible in bringing out the local talent.
Editor and advisor of AMG India International N. Jaya Kumar and singers from Chennai, Hyderabad, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam, including Revanth-Super Singer 5 runner up, Saketh, Anirudh, Ramani, Nikita and Sirisha, attended the programme.
