They performed music of composers like German composer George Frideric Handel, French composer Maurice Ravel and from the ‘Lord of the Rings’. This was followed by a performance of the elementary and secondary choirs of ISH with approximately 60 children from the school singing their hearts out on a medley.Next up was Deccan Voices, a bunch of 20 experienced and amateur musicians, trained by Joe Koster.
