Symphony
Symphony, the inter-collegiate cultural festival of KJSCE, has created its name and popularity among Engineering and Management institutes under Mumbai university for the last decade. Every year many students from various institutes participate in the programme. The main aim is to promote, encourage and exhibit the talents of the students on a common platform and create interest in the classical, vocal and instrumental music.
The event was started in 1991 as a small intra campus festival and has now grown to be one which is backed by a solid organization and fun. There are not less than 15000 students that come to symphony every year. The organizers of yesteryears have hosted artists of the magnitude of Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma, Louis Banks, Hariharan, Indus Creed, Parikrama, KK, Bombay Vikings, Taufiq Quereshi, Dagar, Euphoria, Suraj Jagan etc. The event also has a social touch to propagate a message relevant to the times like AIDS awareness, etc. There have also been Auto Shows and an Army display at Symphony. The organization is done by students which is also a time for building strong camaraderie and team work. Many students look back fondly at the memories gathered during this phase of their lives.

Famous quotes containing the word symphony:
“The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
