FINE ARTS SOCIETY

Sree Sen
Secretary, 2009-2010

The Fine Arts Society is one of those cultural organizations which actively engage the students of St. Xavier’s college in various activities throughout the year. With members from all departments of the college-B. Com morning and evening, B.A. as well as B. Sc, this society holds various events in order to encourage and promote the latent talent of the students. The society organised two major concerts in the year 2008-09.The western music concert of 2008 witnessed an unprecedented response from the students. After grilling auditions, the finalists then performed in a packed auditorium.

Following the success of this venture which revealed the musical aptitude among many of the Xaverians, the Fine Arts Society organised a western classical music concert. This event was highly appreciated by the authorities and students of the college. A rare endeavour, ably handled by the former secretary, Ashwika Kapoor, this concert was a path breaking event that set new standards in this college for musical performances. The previous year’s overwhelming response to this event resulted in the western musical concert of 2009 which had a similar approach. However, there was more participation by the students, fresh faces on stage and greater enthusiasm. Other events lined up for the year include exhibitions and competitions in art and photography.

This society believes in giving students an opportunity to exhibit their creativity in different cultural fields. The events are aimed at giving them a much needed platform to project and assess their works and achievements. The Fine Arts Society, as an integral part of the college, will continue its commitment to promote the cultural talents of the students in the years to come.
