Bronze Arts Award Pupil Prepares For Prestigious SAMYO Concert

Sathvika Krishnan, one of our 2nd year pupils and an enthusiastic, committed member of Bablake's Junior Choir, will be singing with SAMYO, the National Youth Orchestra and Choir for Indian music at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank on Saturday 28th February.

Sathvika is an excellent Carnatic singer and has been singing with both SAMYO and the South Asian National Youth Choir for about a year. The choir is a recent addition to SAMYO and was introduced to promote singing and encourage more young Carnatic vocalists to become involved with the organisation. 

Normally, SAMYO rehearses twice a month on Sundays, so Sathvika, the only local musician involved, has to travel to London for these rehearsals. At the moment though, she is going every weekend as well as some weekdays after school in the run up to the concert on 28th February.

As well as all this, Sathvika is studying for her Bronze Arts Awardand will present a short workshop on Carnatic singing to some of our Year 4 Bablake Junior School pupils at the end of March.
