About Chorus:
Every year, students of Sharda University amalgamate with the
students all over the world (with around 82 countries) to orchestrate
one of the largest and the most glamorous fests of North India--Chorus. Celebrated in February every year, this 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 scintillating
performances by popular singers such as Sonu Nigam, Simon WebbBlue, UK, Jal- The Band, Hard Kaur, Underground Authority,
GajendraVerma, Jasmine Sandlas and KK among others. Moreover,
the festival had its share of stellar performances by MTV VJ and
Roadies’ host Rannvijay—who hosted the famous reality show on the
campus. Among other hallmarks of the festival, the ones that bowled
over the audience was a guest lecture by Mr. Imtiaz Ali(the Director
of movies like Highway and Jab We Met).For all those who wanted to
Page |5
put their brains to test, an Inter-college quiz was conducted by
renowned TV host Mr. Charu Sharma.
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 atmosphere, we
endeavour to build on the grand success of Chorus’ 14 which saw a
footfall of around 23,000 students from over 238 Colleges and
Universities from all over the world!
The conglomeration of Indo-western entertainment and art-science
troupes have always been a regular feature of Chorus. The
rendezvous featured some of the famous models such as Nayanika
Chatterjee,
Montu
Tomar, and Ritu Singh.
The succeeding days
promised an enticing
mix of Dance, Music
and
Theatre.
The
famous dancer, Daksha
Seth and her troupe
gave a scintillating
Aerial
dance
performance at Chorus’ 10.
The three-day festival also promotes shows and competitions
such as GuddGuddi- 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
Page |6
fest by providing the zing factor and make for a truly fun-filled and
rocking event.
With each show designed to give a message to the youth in super
cool manner-just as they like, we at Chorus, feel it as our
responsibility to spotlight the richness of our culture and heritage.
Through Chorus we also collaborate with various social organizations
of national and international repute to contribute towards the
betterment of the society by highlighting various issues of social
importance and making the youth sensitive towards their duties.
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.

Theme:
There are patterns which emerge in one's life, circling and returning
anew-- an endless variation of a theme. A theme is hence an idea
that echoes or pervades in an artful story. We perceive fiction to be
something that is invented or untrue, but it is under the mask of
fiction that one can tell the truth.
Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures. All the technology that we
see around us was once a fairytale but it is through inspiration that
fiction enthralled us and we are at a liberty to avail it in reality. Time
travel used to be thought of as science fiction, but Einstein's general
theory of relativity allows for a possibility of warping space-time so
much that we could go off in a rocket and return even before we set
out.
Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving
it a form of reality. This is quite opposite to our own natural
Page |8
tendency which is to anticipate reality by imagining it, or to flee from
it by idealizing it.
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind could possibly
invent, therefore, with the help of fiction as its theme, team Chorus
aspires to free everyone of the hesitations of uncertainties and
impossibilities and enrage them to achieve what they dream and
aspire to be.
Thus the goal, I suppose, is to reach out to your heart and to let you
experience something about the paradoxes and struggles of being
human.
Page |9
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. Through this annual cultural fest team
Chorus believes to use Fiction to tell the truth. In creating fiction, we
believe, one realizes its essence and finds something true about
oneself.
Our lives have become monotonous. In such a moribund life
Sharda University has organized the most beautiful and the most
awaited mega fest – “CHORUS 2015 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 25,000 people from
different parts of the country. We hope to continue this dream run!
And this time with a theme where you can let loose your imagination
and aim for the unthinkable, the impossible, the unachievable-“Fiction”.
We look forward to see you in the event!
The world is here, where are you?
