Floreat Live in Concert, a musical extravaganza to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Royal College Union kicked off in style at the Nelum Pokuna Theatre last weekend. The concert featured a variety of performances by versatile singers who have excelled in the local and the international music industry.
Local pop stars such as Bhathiya and Santhush, Umaria and Umara Sinhawansa, Randhir Withana, Ashanthi De Alwis and Dushyanth Weeraman added colour to the stage, echoing their vocals across the theatre. The ensemble was made even richer with acts by Chitral Somapala, Kishani Jayasinghe, Monica-Evelin Liiv and Soul Sounds directed by Soundarie David Rodrigo which made it a night to remember.
