SONIC SITDOWNS

ARTRA Magazine with Yamaha Music Centre

Music has the delightful faculty to heighten our senses. It can impact our emotions, stimulate thoughts and strengthen our state of mind. As waves of sound go through our ear, it resonates with the whole of our body, rejuvenating our presence. In celebration of local music & musicians, ARTRA launched Sonic Sitdonws on the 20th of September on ARTRA’s Digital Platforms, which is a series of documentaries of performance artists, together with Yamaha Music Centre, of which our first episode featured Musicmatters, Co-Founded by Sumudi Suraweera, Sri Lanka’s revered music school that introduced alternative study courses for Western music education of which the program has earned a reputation for its practical approach to music, in contrast with the traditional exam-oriented instruction methods.
