Every year, Namadwaar Singapore hosts a grand music contest open to ages between 5-50, with differing age categories based on the compositions of HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji. Participants would be given recordings of these compositions, where they can choose which song(s) they would like to perform. They would then be judged based on accuracy, raga, tala, shruthi, and bhava. Over the years, the contest has transformed into a space where people can showcase their musical talents as well as learn how to imbibe the emotions of soulful lyrics into their performance.
This year’s contest was held at Namadwaar and the Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society (SIFAS) for different age categories. The entire event was a huge success and waswell recieved with more than 175 participants, supported by enthusiastic parents, teachers and audience! At SIFAS, we had a mini concert by young children, who sang Madhurageethams under the "budding stars" category, stealing the hearts of everyone!
