Giri Samkeerthana Sangamam

Dear friends,

The SIFAS Alumni was officially launched on 13 September 2008 with the election of our first group of office bearers. Over these past 5 years, we have taken great efforts to provide a platform that would enable our members to interact with and learn from one another. It has therefore been our pleasure to observe as our senior and junior members work alongside one another to organise and conduct Alumni events.

The Alumni and its members are regularly involved in organising and performing at SIFAS events such as the annual Academy Day celebrations, SIFAS Music and Dance Festival and Navarathiri. Further to this, we have also been involved in two major Dance productions at the Esplanade; Saptha Sthuthi in March 2010 and Krishna Bharatham in April 2012.

Connecting with you

Details of our past events, including photographs are available on our Facebook Group page and on our Blogsite at www.sifaslalumni.blogspot.com.

Our Next Production

The present Alumni Committee is now eager to launch our Music Wing on a public platform  through an Orchestra based Production entitled Giri Samkeerthana Sangamam ("GSS"). 

This landmark event in our Alumni Calendar is scheduled to take place with the support of the SIFAS management, on 20 April 2013, Saturday at the University Culture Centre between 7 and 9 pm. 

The original compositions for the production have been created by our SIFAS tutors and the performers are a group of of past and existing SIFAS students who are now members of the SIFAS Alumni. Further details on the performers, the composers and the key persons behind this production are available on our Production Website (link).
