Susheel Ji: Key to the Event’s Audio Success

A special shoutout goes to Susheel Ji on audio. His expertise and dedication to sound management meant that we didn't have to worry about any audio issues. His seamless handling of the audio ensured that every performance was heard clearly, enhancing the overall experience.

Visual Storytelling for Every Song

One of the standout features of the event was the beautiful backgrounds displayed for each song. Each backdrop was carefully selected to tell a visual story that complemented the musical performance. These visuals added depth and meaning to each piece, creating a multi-sensory experience for the audience.

Capturing Moments - Thanks to Harini

A big thank you to Harini from my team, who was dedicated to capturing the beautiful moments of the evening. Her photography skills brought the essence of each performance to life, creating lasting memories for everyone involved.

A Well-Coordinated Marathon of Performances

The recital featured over 25 songs performed over 5 hours, including a break to ensure everyone stayed refreshed. Such a lineup required extensive planning, coordination, and volunteer support. Kudos to the SwaraMantra team for pulling off this feat! Even as the clock struck 11 pm, many performers radiated the same energy and enthusiasm they had at the start of the event, showcasing their passion and love for music and dance.

Dedication, Practice, and Community Support

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the dedication and practice of the kids and adult performers, the guidance of their gurus, and the continuous support of their families. The parents played a vital role in ensuring the performers were prepared, attending classes, and providing encouragement every step of the way.


In conclusion, the SwaraMantra Academy's Annual Recital was a celebration of talent, dedication, and community spirit. Here's to many more successful recitals in the future!
