Sunday Island
|August 31, 2025
" A sound of hope, a sound of love, a sound of peace." The heartfelt lyrics of Why We Sing filled the air at the debut concert of the Soul Sounds Senior Community Choir, touching hearts and stirring nostalgia. Nearly 400 guests gathered at the Havelock City Community Hall on Saturday, August 23, to witness this moving performance. The evening was nothing short of magical—an affirmation of music’s power to unite, heal, and uplift.
Vision behind the choir
The Senior Community Choir is the latest creation of Sri Lanka’s musical luminary, Soundarie David Rodrigo—Founder and Choir Director of the renowned Soul Sounds Academy in Colombo-5. Often hailed as Sri Lanka’s “Queen of Musicians,” Soundarie has been a trailblazer since she founded the Academy in 2000. Under her direction, Soul Sounds has trained countless young voices, showcasing their talent at prestigious local and international choir festivals. Their golden wins and international accolades testify not just to technical brilliance, but also to the confidence and stage presence her guidance instills in young performers.
