COVID – 19 Local Teens and GLAC support hospitals in Michigan and India
As COVID-19 cases continue to spike, it is important to recognize efforts by our community in making a difference. Last Summer, Sahith Shankar a senior at West Bloomfield High School and Tejas Shivaraman, a senior at Cranbrook High School with support from Great Lakes Aradhana Committee (GLAC) took to the lead in hosting a virtual music event titled “Sangam”. The event raised around approximately $10,000. Sangam was a unique fusion of Western and Carnatic music. Sahith played the Carnatic violin while Tejas played the Western piano. Both these teens have previously performed and won prizes at several music festivals around the country. Vinod Seetharaman, a leading percussion artist in North America, played mridangam for the concert.
The event drew a large and diverse audience and was broadcasted around the world through YouTube and PaalamTV, through a partnership with mudhra.org .
Funds raised were used toward procuring PPEs for Beaumont Hospitals in Detroit and for Sri Sankara Eye Hospitals (SEH) in Chennai.
Sriram Ganapathy, President of GLAC states “GLAC has a rich history of giving back to the community and this was another example”. Sriram also expressed his appreciation to Shiv Shivaraman and Jay Shankar Balan for executing a successful event.
Hope more such efforts are undertaken in the future to a make a difference.
