ABOUT CHORUS

Chorus is the majestic extravaganza organized by Sharda University which has evolved over

the years as North India’s largest Techno-Cultural Festival. The mesmerizing

illustriousness is worth being a part of and is by far the finest grandeur of magnificence.

Chorus, the annual mega-cultural festival of Sharda University, is an amalgamation of

entertainment, excitement, and potential of the youth of our era. Offering a rich blend of music,

art, dance, drama, workshops and quizzes, Chorus promises an exuberant cocktail of cultural

diversity, social awareness and unending entertainment.

Over the past six years Chorus has been adorned with mesmerizing performances by popular

singers such as Javid Ali, Sonu Nigam, Simon Webb- Blue, Neha Kakkar, UK, Jal- The

Band, Hard Kaur, Underground Authority, Gajendra Verma, Jasmine Sandlas and KK

among others. Moreover, the festival had its share of stellar performances by MTV VJ and

Roadies’ host Rannvijay and Raghu — who have been hosting continuously one of our events

“Rowdies” – The Sharda University version of the famous show – Roadies.

Chorus has now established itself as one of the most enthralling cultural festivals in India.

Continuing with the tradition of providing an academically and culturally stimulating

WWW.CHORUSFEST.IN 5

atmosphere, we endeavour to build on the grand success of Chorus’ 15 which saw a footfall of

around 30,000 students from over 200 Colleges and Universities from all over the world!

The conglomerations of Indo-western entertainment and art-science troupes have always been

a regular feature of Chorus. The rendezvous has already featured some of the famous models

such as Nayanika Chatterjee, Montu Tomar, and Ritu Singh together with the Shudh Desi

Romance actress Vaani Kapoor and Miss India Earth “Prachi Mishra”. The succeeding

days promise an enticing mix of Dance, Music and Theatre. Famous dancers like Daksha Seth

who along with her troupe gave a scintillating Aerial dance performance at Chorus’ 10 have

been. Subsequent Chorus editions have featured MJ5 Dance Troop and other performers.

The three-day festival also promotes shows and competitions such as Gudd Guddi- The

Laughter Show, Illusion- The Magic show, Antakshri, Boardroom Battle fought by B-School

students, RJ Hunt, Collage Making, Tattoo Making and Street Play, thereby making Chorus a

complete youth fest. Adventure Sports, Go-Karting, Guest Lectures, workshops, LAN

gaming and more than 80 events cap the fest by providing the zing factor and make for a

truly fun-filled and rocking event. Every year we take a new step to conclude Chorus by

initiating a launch of forums and societies to deal with the burning issues concerning the youth

and their duties towards society and the nation.

For the realization of its aims and aspirations, Chorus hopes for support and encouragement

from you. Together we can and we will make a difference. With your support and guidance we

hope to take this endeavour to the highest level of excellence and envisage becoming a trend

setter for all other college festivals of the nation.

OUR VISION

Team Chorus is zealously determined to execute its dictum nostrum in providing the young

generation of India with a platform to realize and enhance their talents. We are committed to

encourage youth to achieve milestones beyond the skies. Talking about the youth the famous

Indian Poet-Philosopher Mohammad Iqbal said,

“Nhi tera nashemann kasr-e-sultani k gumbad par,

Tu shaheen hai basera kar pahado kay chattano par”

“Thy abode is not on the dome of a royal palace,

You are an eagle and should live on the rocks of mountains.”

To encourage youth to reach such heights Sharda University organizes the most beautiful and

the most awaited mega fest – “CHORUS aiming to disperse some life in the air and build up

an atmosphere where fun is kith and joy is kin. The mission of the Festival is "to bring the

community together" with unlimited fun.

Today we feel that we have succeeded in creating and structuring an event in which everybody

can be proud of participating. This counts to a footfall of around 40,000 people from different

parts of the country. We hope to continue this dream run!

standards in training our students, who must be at the core of

everything we do. We endeavour to prepare them for the modern day

professions and provide them all tools necessary for them to succeed

My mission is also to support our faculty as they continue their excellent educational and

creative work, and to help them keep the University on the current upward trajectory. I am

thrilled and humbled by what the University has already achieved, but I believe we can never

rest on our laurels and we must always aim higher. Anything less is a disservice to our excellent

and making the students excel in extracurricular activities. Thanks to Chorus students of our

University will be able to interact with students from different parts of the country. I believe
