‘Medical Asscociation ‘Doctors’ live

‘Doctors’ Concert’ featuring artistic men and women docs attached to the Sri Lanka Medical Association (SLMA) will showcase their talent on 28th of July, from 7.00 pm onwards at the Grand Ballroom of Galadarai Hotel, Colombo.

It is a common belief and a much bandied general impression that medical doctors are a very serious set of people who are mainly involved in looking after people with illnesses. True enough they perform that ever so immensely important task in society in the sphere of healing the sick and such a mission is by no means to be taken lightly in view of its tremendous significance. Healing the sick is certainly a noble task and many of them are renowned performers as well as experts in their own chosen specialities of the profession.

However, it may come as a surprise to many that several of these medical men and women have other talents. Among these are musical, acting, drama and performing arts aptitudes. There are very many extremely gifted performers of real class amongst our medical men and women. In recognition of this the Sri Lanka Medical Association ( SLMA) provides an opportunity for these artistic men and women to present their abilities and flair in music, drama and dance at the ‘SLMA Doctors’ Concert’ held during its Annual International Scientific Congress. It is usually presented on the evening of the second day of the congress proper and this year it will be held at the Main Ballroom of the Galadari Hotel on the 28th of July, from 7.00 pm onwards.

This is a much awaited opportunity for members of the medical profession and their family members to put their hair down and forget medicine for the evening. This year, there will be about 30 or so performers whose repertoire would include songs, instrumental presentations and skits. In addition there will be a few invited recitals by non-medical virtuosos of international repute who will add a touch of extra class and a sparkling dazzle to the entire event such as popular Rukashan Perera. The final item of the evening would be a harmonised choral presentation by the entire Executive Council of the SLMA depicting the beauty and glamour of our motherland; truly a land that has been made for all of us.
