It’s a first for the Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka (SOSL) when they present the “SOSL Pops-Trilingual Extravaganza” at the Bishop’s College Auditorium on October 20 at 7 p.m.
A fan favourite, the SOSL Pops concert is always sold out and this year the SOSL is preparing a trilingual programme of popular local songs such as “Nadhi Ganga”, “Master Sir”, “Ukulata Nawath”, “Baba Yetu”, despite the lack of orchestral music for many of them. Conductor Nishantha Warnakulasuriya is spearheading the show with Chitral Somapala in the spotlight. Also taking part are the Soul Sounds, Soul Sounds Academy Choir and the Soul Sounds Academy Children’s Choir directed by Soundarie David Rodrigo.
