Melody of Resilience

Anandadhara Arts presents a medley of songs of Tagore, Nazrul and Pete Seeger.

The first of the three songs was composed by Bengali poet, Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam. It depicts outside calamities and urges everyone to fight together.
The second song is a Tagore song where it talks about the need of inner strength and the need for resilience even if one is alone in this fight.
The final song, by the children, is about the hope for a better future sung originally by Pete Seeger. The song will be sung in three different languages implying that we are all in it together irrespective of age, race or gender.

The piece is a combination of music, lyrics and melodies by the students of Anandadhara Arts.
