Performance at the Commonwealth - CHOGM inauguration at the Buckingham Palace, London

Jyotsna was invited to perform in the Buckingham Palace​ ​for a specially commissioned music piece called 'Shepherds Hey' ​in a very special setting for the Formal Opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting ​tomorrow ​April 19​, Thursday​​. She represented India along with 5 other violinists​ of different genres from 5 different continents from other commonwealth countries to perform. Her Majesty the Queen of England, The British PM Theresa May and our Hon Prime Minister Narendra Modi were present along with other Commonwealth Heads. Regarding the music Shepherds Hey Percy Grainger was an Australian composer who came to Britain in the early 1900 and enthusiastically collected English folk music. He heard "Shepherds Hey" performed by Morris Dancers in Oxfordshire, loved its exuberance and physicality and included his instrumental arrangement in an edition of the National Songbook that was printed in London and sent to all corners of the Commonwealth. It took on a life of its own in Australian and Canadian folk music and evolved further as a tune - we ​have taken it one stage further building on its Commonwealth heritage for this performance by​ Sam Sweeney, Jyotsna Srikanth, Owen Spafford, Braimah Kanneh - Mason, Nadine Galea, Courtenay Cleary on violin and Victoria Bernath on viola.
