It will be an evening of song and dance and will consist of artistes with experience as well as a few young performers. “I want to give new artistes a chance,” says Jith. The main performances will be by Eshantha Pieris, Peshali Yapa, Shanelle Fernando, Tony Fernandez’ dancers, The Meneka Singers and Tarja de Silva along with her troupe.

When It’s Spring Again will open with a piano recital by the Eshantha Peiris and will follow with a duet with his brother. Timeless numbers like “O’ Danny Boy,” “Some Enchanted Evening,” a few ABBA numbers, as well as some classics will definitely be worth listening to. The Waltz along with Latin American as well as free-style dancing will all be part of the dances at When It’s Spring Again.
