This concert was organised by the National Youth Services Council and President of the Sri Lanka Singers’ Association (SLASA) Keerthi Pasquel together with Madu Madawa Aravinda, Senaka Ubayasinghe, Tyron Maddumage and Nuwan Samarasinghe
Prince Udaya Priyantha’s sister Shiromi Priyangika was the only family member he was left with and who looked after him until his recent demise after a long hospitalisation. A total of Rs. 2,538,000 is still due to the hospital for his medical expenses.
“The men and women who enrich a country’s cultural life are also part of a country’s pulse. They live in the hearts and minds of their thousands of fans forever.
