It is time to spread some love and make a difference. Malaysia’s number one Tamil radio station Thr Raaga, in partnership with Magnum, are inviting its listeners to join them at the Magnum Thr Raaga Concert tour—all for a good cause.
With four concerts at four locati  ons nationwide, the tour will kick off on May 12 at Stadium Shah Alam, before visiting Stadium Pasir Gudang, Johor (June 30), Stadium Indera Mulia, Ipoh (August 18) and Padang Kota Lama, Penang (October 27).
The Magnum Thr Raaga Charity Concert is FREE for all members of the public. It is organised with the utmost objective of reaching out to unprivileged Malaysians and contribute towards the betterment of their life. Three orphanages have been selected to benefit from the first concert at Shah Alam, namely the Sri Shenbagavali Asram, Sungai Besi; the Anbu Illam & Karunai Illam Charity Home in Ulu Klang and Kepong; and the Agathians Shelter, Petaling Jaya. Other charity organisations at the respective states where the other three concerts are taking place will be nominated.
While entrance is free, the audience can make their donations during the event. All contributions collected will be channelled to these charity homes.
Prior to each concert, children from these homes will also be treated to a special luncheon.
Local artists performing during the tour include Reshmonu, Yogi B, Dilip, Sharmila Sivaguru and Boh Raagaswaranggal 2007 winner, Revathy Devi Mathavan. Of course, Thr announcers will also be meeting their listeners at all four locations.
Thr listeners have the opportunity to rub shoulders with the performers and Thr announcers when they take part in the station’s on-air and online contests. Tune in to Thr or log on to www.thr.com for your chance to win backstage passes and VIP seats at the concerts.
General manager of Magnum Corporation Berhad, Mr Tuen Foo Fatt, says not only does Magnum want to bring fun and entertainment to the public, but there is a bigger objective of introducing the element of charity into the concert series.
More information about the concert series are available on Thr’s website
