Soul Sounds, Sri Lanka’s premiere female ensemble, will take to the stage this month to present a concert honouring Whitney Houston. This will be a concert with a difference as it will also trace the life of Whitney Houston through songs taken from her numerous albums.

Soul Sounds will present a balanced repertoire performing some of her popular songs, as well some of the lesser-known numbers, adding their own unique touch with special arrangements. This particular concert will also feature some of the best solo voices from Soul Sounds namely Shehara Liyanage, Andrea Melder Labrooy, Aanjanee Jayasooriya, Roshie Wickramaratne James, Tanisha Wijesinghe and Angela Fernando.

The concert will be directed by Music Director Soundarie David Rodrigo, along with well known musicians Mignonne Fernando, Christopher Prins, Revel Crake and Pradeep Rodrigo. The event will be held on Friday, 30 March at 7.30 p.m. and will be the first performance of this kind to be held at the latest entertainment venue in Colombo, ‘The Stables’ at the Park Street Mews Boulevard.

There is limited seating and tickets can be purchased at the Park Street Mews. More information can be obtained by visiting the Soul Sounds webpage (www.soulsounds.org) and Facebook page.
