‘Waves of Hope,’ an aid concert dedicated to healing and rebuilding Sri Lanka following Cyclone Ditwah organised by the Western Musicians Association (WMA) and Rotary District 3220, was held on 8 February at the Galadari Ballroom in Colombo, drawing a full house united by music, compassion, and solidarity.

The concert raised a remarkable Rs. 4 million for flood relief efforts, including Rs. 400,000 in on-the-spot donations during the event. Every cent collected will be utilised transparently for the benefit of those affected by the cyclone. The evening featured outstanding performances by renowned dance band Misty alongside Dalreen, Clifford, Rukshan, Dina, Sohan, and Lulu—all of whom generously volunteered their time and talent. Their lively performances kept spirits high well past midnight as guests enjoyed a wonderful variety of music for both listening pleasure and dancing.

This impactful evening was made possible through the collaboration between the WMA’s talented musicians and Rotary’s trusted service leadership.
