The European Medical Students' Choir ( EMSC) joins over 200 medical students-singing enthusiasts from many European countries who traditionally meet in concerts twice a year, each time in a different European city. Every EMSC meeting is organised by local medical students. The EMSC has been brought into existence by Miss Vasuki Sivagnavel and members of the European Medical Students Association (EMSA), who organised the first EMSC performance in London. The aim of the concert was raising founds for the books supply to the restored library of the Sarajevo University. The noble idea of organising charity concerts resulted in further meetings of the EMSC in Berlin, Ljubljana, Budapest and Stockholm. The choir sang again in the spring of 2000 in Valladolid, Spain. The 7th concert of the EMSC will take place in Warsaw, Poland in September 2000.The next concerts are planned to be held in Riga, Latvia and Edinburgh, UK in 2001. Every EMSC meeting means 7-10 days of intensive rehearsals to give beneficial performances. It also makes a great opportunity for medical students from over 20 European countries to make international friendships, practice foreign languages, get to know each others' cultures and enjoy singing beautiful music pieces together. |
