Continuing its musical odyssey post Kala  Academy, Panaji, the Indian Naval Symphonic Band exhibited splendid  performance for the first time recently at Tilak Maidan Stadium, Vasco. For the musical programme, people across Goa  were present at the venue to be a part of an amazing evening, which  commenced with an hour of the 60 musician repertoire of classical and  martial music followed by the Navy Jazz band jamming with six of Goa’s  finest musicians. They played popular Pop, Rock and Konkani numbers to  a spellbound audience. The symphony orchestra was conducted by Commander VC  D’ Cruz, a Goan and an alumnus of Trinity college of Music, London. The 66  Naval musicians and six outstanding Goan musicians gave an amazing  performance of foot tapping Goan music.

The Indian Naval Band commenced the  musical show with Colonel Bougey March followed by the fanfare of beautiful  combination of Martial Music, Symphonies, overtones and other forms of  contemporary genres. The audience was enthralled by the sheer variety of  repertoire and the phenomenal talent of the naval musicians. In the  past also the Indian Naval Band has regaled and impressed audiences across  the country and around the globe on numerous occasion. They performed the  famous songs of Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar - ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja’ and ‘Jaane  Jaan Dhoondta’. The grand  event was the Rock  concert  

The band will be performing again on April 25 at Ravindra Bhavan in Margao  between 6-8 pm.
