Child’s Play India Foundation is a registered music
education trust that seeks to instil positive values and
provide social empowerment to India’s disadvantaged
children through the teaching of classical music to the
highest possible standard. It was founded by Dr Luis
Dias in 2009.
They currently teach violin, viola, cello, recorder,
transverse flute, clarinet and piano to around 60
children across three locations in Goa. Their choir
project has an additional 40 children.
They also have two orchestras – the Camerata
Child’s Play India – which has their senior students,
teachers and local musicians from the community and
Junior Camerata Child’s Play which is made up of their
younger students.
This Wind-Up Penguin Theatre Company (UK)
comes against the backdrop of their recent Young
Performers series of Child’s Play India Foundation’s
monsoon concert ‘Take a Stand’. They aim to bring
professional-standard musical theatre to children
who don’t have access to live art. “We work to uplift
children in difficult circumstances, to provide a cultural
exchange between the members of the Wind-Up
Penguin and the children abroad, and to enable the
children to discover more about different cultures; to
inspire children to generosity, and to show them that
creating their own project is not only possible, but
extremely rewarding,” said the group members.
The event is appropriate for children of all ages.
