The Men’s voice and Choral Society have, with their scintillating music, performed their 14th Annual Concert on 5th December at Salmiya Indian Model School (SIMS) with the theme “Sing We Gloria”. The night overflowed with melodies that warmed hearts and filled listeners with a sense of joyfulness as the charismatic chorale progressed though carols that took listeners on a journey around the world. Carols from different lands, from Asia to Europe, from the Caribbean to the American continent and to God’s own country, the land of coconut palms resonated through the evening. They were able to rekindle the message of Peace, Hope Love and Joy through their songs, which is the motto of the group.
