Sana Liaquat declared 'Voice of QAU'
Islamabad: Sana Liaquat from Defence
and Strategic Studies (DSS) Department was declared Voice of Quaid-i-Azam
University (QAU) in a singing competition held on Thursday night at the
university campus.
Shahzad Sarfraz from Geophysics Department and Ms
Maria from Psychology Department took the second and third positions
respectively.
Debating Literary Society of QAU organised the event titled
'Melodious Night'. Seven students from different departments of the university
participated in the Ghazals category and 10 in the songs category.
Being
the first ever event of this kind in the university, there were some lapses in
the arrangements such as shortage of space to accommodate the crowd but overall
it was a well-organised event.
The jam-packed hall of the audience
applauded the singers while some also accompanied them in singing. The students'
performance was wonderful and one could hardly believe that they were singing
live or it was as a recorded song.
The selection of songs by the singers
was appreciable as they kept the audience swirling and waving to the tunes of
melodies and applauding them.
Professional singers including Sultan Fateh
Ali Khan, Jaam Amir and Noman Lashari were judges of the competition. They
appreciated the singers and asked the organisers to continue such activities for
highlighting the hidden talent of students.
QAU Vice Chancellor Muhammad
Qasim Jan appreciated the efforts of the society for organising such a big event
in a well-organised manner.
Next programme: Jan said that he never
expected such a huge crowd would come to enjoy the musical night.
He
said that the next melodious night for Voice of QAU would be organised in
open-air theatre to accommodate maximum audience. "This time we granted Rs
40,000 for this event but next time this amount would be increased
considerably," he said. Daily Times
