Lifting up their voices
By Marisa de Silva
The melodious voices of the Colombo Catholic Youth Choir (CCYC), directed by Surein D.S. Wijeratne, will ring through the Bishop’s College auditorium, on August 5 at 7.30 p.m.

The CCYC performed at an International Choral Festival held in Germany last year, at which many of its current members participated as well. CCYC in Concert will feature a mix of modern and classical praise and worship numbers such as Pie Jesu, The Lord’s Prayer, Please walk beside me and I give you my heart. They will also sing pop hits like Toto’s Africa, the best of The Beatles, Bee Gees and Elton John and popular Sinhala classics such as Danno Budunge. Their repertoire extends further still, to also include a few songs they learnt in Germany.

The choir comprises about 30 Catholic youth, aged from 12-19 years, from schools including St. Joseph’s College, St. Peter’s College, Holy Family Convent – Bambalapitiya, St. Bridget’s Convent, Ladies’ College, Colombo International School and a few others. The entire troop has been hard at work, practicing, since around February this year and are now all geared to entertain! Tickets available at Mabroc Trades (Lanka Hands Building) and at the entrance.
