Soul Sounds

Soul Sounds, the premier female ensemble, boldly embarked on a pioneering journey as the first choir in Sri Lanka to explore the realms of international choral music. Being the first to compete internationally way back in 2004 and thereafter tour and compete around the world. Soul Sounds have been the trend setters in Sri Lanka for choral music. Directed by the renowned pianist and musician, Soundarie David Rodrigo, Soul Sounds stands proudly among the most distinguished choirs worldwide. Since its inception, Soul Sounds has captivated audiences both at home and abroad with its passionate and soulful music.

To mark the 20th year, the choir is envisioned to compete at the World Choir Games held in Auckland

The World Choir Games (WCG) isn't just a competition; it's the global celebration of choral singing, often dubbed the "Olympics of Choral Music." More than a contest, WCG is a harmonious gathering that unites nations and cultures in a joyful blend of creativity, diversity, friendship, and peace. In a historic move, the 13th WCG is set to grace Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time, turning Auckland into a hub of musical brilliance from July 10 to 20, 2024. Expect not only competitive performances but also an Olympic-style parade, grand ceremonies, and enchanting evening concerts, showcasing the heart of choral artistry.

Soul Sounds, directed by the accomplished musician Soundarie David Rodrigo, is Sri Lanka's pioneering choir in international choral music. Founded under Rodrigo's guidance, this premier female ensemble has not only captivated audiences globally but also earned its place among the world's distinguished choirs.

In 2004, Soul Sounds achieved a significant milestone by securing the first runners-up position in the Youth Choir Category at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales. This triumph marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that took the choir to stages across India, China, Australia, Kuwait, Austria, France, the USA, Malaysia, and South Africa.

Beyond musical excellence, Soul Sounds is a cultural ambassador for Sri Lanka, distinguished as the only choir in the country to record an international album. Collaborating with global icons like Cliff Richard, Bill Wyman, Russell Watson, and the Bee Gees' Gibb brothers, the choir has earned widespread acclaim. Their achievements include gold medals at the World Choir Games, invitations for global concert tours, and performances for notable figures, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Pope Francis, and Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne, in 2024.

As Soul Sounds celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2024, the choir remains committed to its mission of touching souls through the transformative power of music. Join them on this extraordinary journey as they continue to spread harmony on the global choral music stage.
