THEEVRA ’23: A Night of Music, Dance, and Talent

Review by Chaniru Senhas & Rehan Anandakumar 

At Trinity College, education isn’t solely about academics. Unlike many other schools, Trinity nurtures a holistic approach to student development. Since its inception, Trinity has proudly embraced the ethos of an all-round school, encouraging students to explore a diverse range of extracurricular activities spanning speaking, entertainment, and sports. To celebrate and showcase the remarkable talents of the students, Trinity regularly hosts a plethora of shows and competitions. 

In recent times, the school has amplified its commitment to entertainment and extracurricular pursuits, leading to the spectacular event known as THEEVRA ’23. This musical extravaganza, a collaborative effort between the Oriental Music Society (OMS) of Trinity College and the Old Trinitians’ Oriental Music Association (OTOMA) unfolded on the 9th of September at the Mahinda Rajapakshe Auditorium (NICD) in Polgolla. The evening was graced with the presence of renowned singers Umara Sinhawansha and Mihindu Ariyarathne. Furthermore, the night sparkled with captivating performances by students from the Trinity College Western Music Society, Hillwood College, and Swarnamali Balika Vidyalaya, making it a truly memorable occasion. 

THEEVRA ’23 commenced with a warm introduction by the evening’s charming emcees, Sethlath and Kanchana. The OMS took the stage with a mesmerizing rendition of the theme song, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. The Sarasvathi song (සරස්වතී ගීතය) followed and accompanied by a captivating solo dance and a symphony by the OMS orchestra. The Junior School Singing Group then wowed the audience with their performance of “Ranchu Ranchu Ranchu Gasi” (රංචු රංචු ගැසී) and “Mithureku” (මිතුරෙකු). A special highlight was a duet featuring Umara Sinhawansha and Master Nethmika Athukorala, complemented by a gracefuldance performed by students from Trinity and Swarnamali Vidyalaya. 

The second act featured Umara Sinhawansha delivering three more enchanting songs, one of which featured a captivating dance performance by the dance troupe of Swarnamali Vidyalaya. Trinity students added their unique flair with two soulful songs before the intermission. 

The post-intermission segment began with a mesmerizing English performance by the Western Music Society, followed by four enthralling songs from the ever-talented Mihindu Ariyarathne, two of which were brought to life by the graceful movements of Trinity students. As the grand finale approached, Zenel Zakeer delivered a captivating solo singing performance, leading into a movie-themed song mashup performed by the singing groups of Trinity and Hillwood College. 

The night culminated on an emotional note with the heartrending performance of “Anagathaya” (අනාගතයේ) by the orchestra, leaving the audience deeply moved. 

THEEVRA ’23 proved to be a standout event at Trinity College Kandy, bringing together an eclectic mix of musical genres under one roof. From traditional symphonies that tugged at the heartstrings to high-energy rock anthems, the event uncovered the hidden gems of Trinity College Oriental Music Society. Behind the scenes, it was a whirlwind of sleepless nights, unwavering dedication from musicians, teachers, and organizers, all striving for perfection in every note and lyric. 

As the final applause reverberated throughout the auditorium, THEEVRA ’23 etched itself into the annals of the Oriental Music Society’s legacy, securing a special place in the hearts of all who witnessed its brilliance. 

we want to express our sincere gratitude to the dedicated individuals who played a pivotal role in bringing THEEVRA ’23 to life. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Chamila Meddegoda, Mrs. Jayanthi Wijekoon, Mr. Wasana Dissanayake, Mrs. Chryshanthi Kabral Surendrakumar, Miss. Ridmi Weerasinghe, Mr. Imal Dharshana Wasagarathna, and Mr. Kasun Malintha Marasinghe. We would also like to extend a special appreciation to the Old Trinitians’ Oriental Music Association (OTOMA) for their invaluable contribution in securing the essential sponsors that laid the strong foundation for this event.
