Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and everything”.
Owing to the pandemic, HPS celebrated World Music Day virtually on the 21st of June at 5:30 pm. Nevertheless, teachers and students participated enthusiastically.
