Christmas carols by the visually impaired choir
View(s):The Sri Lanka Federation of the Visually Handicapped (SLFVH) is excited to announce their choir (comprising of talented visually impaired singers) is now available for bookings in the 2023 Christmas season. The choir members eagerly look forward to bringing their special brand of festive cheer to corporates, hotels and homes.
The SLFVH aims to improve the quality of life of the visually impaired population of Sri Lanka. Every year the Federation brings together a group of multi-talented visually handicapped singers to form a choir that performs at reputed establishments and functions during the festive season.
The choir performing at the Majestic City, Bambalapitiya in 2017 at the request of Mr Page.
The choir has a long history of performing at leading hotels, end-of-year office functions, shopping malls, apartment complexes and other institutions, and are a much-loved part of the annual festivities of a number of organisations.
The choir performs four-part singing and their repertoire includes English, Sinhala, and Tamil carols. The total programme can be tailor-made to run for 20-40 minutes based on each organisation’s requirements. The funds raised from these engagements will be used to cover the expenses of the choir and any remaining funds will be used to support the ongoing activities of the Federation.
