Music - 'Strings Attached'

Music has been one of the many obsessions that the Jamiites have always cherished. "Sham-e-Ghazal" by the Ghazal maestros and the rock night by Papon and Soulmate, were welcomed with enthusiasm and extravagance. To top it all, singing the Jamia Tarana -"Dayar-e-shauq mera, sheher-e-arzoo mera..", by one and all adds to the flair.
The Music Club, headed by Dr. Seemi Murtaza as the Convener, Mr. Zamir Ahmad Khan and Mr. A.C. Kharingpam as the Co-Conveners, has a lot to brag. Performing at National Events, to winning national Trophies, The Music Club has done it all.
This year, continuing the legacy, the Cultural Committee is organising a Music Festival under 'MiRAAS 2013'. A blend of various events, Indian and Western, the day will witness, 'STRINGS ATTACHED.'
