We were honoured to meet this great lady with one of the most beautiful voices one could imagine! Indrani Perera in the three sisters group and then as a solo singer was always a favourite of ours. Her song ” Amma” made me emotional and reduced me to tears every time I heard it on the digital platforms. Today on a day dedicated to a mother to have her perform in person with her son at the People’s Church, the very song Amma made me even more emotional. Was so happy to meet her.
…. I first met Sudarshan Seneviratne – or Uncle Sudarshan as he was to me – when I was around 10 years old. In retrospect, I realise I have known him my entire life. While early memories are hazy, centred mainly on his friendship with my parents, he soon made an indelible impression on my young mind in a way few adults did. Already a Professor of Archaeology at the University of Peradeniya by then, he would go on to hold the only Chair in Archaeology in Sri Lanka’s university system. Tall, charismatic, and always with a twinkle in his eye, he seemed to possess encyclopaedic knowledge spanning archaeology, history, politics, literature, music, and beyond, with a delightful sense of humour to match. A true Renaissance man.
