Every year, the Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya transforms into a stage of brilliance, harmony, and purpose with Pahan Tharuwa, a timeless classical musical spectacle organized by the Medical Faculty Students’ Union. But this is not just another concert. It is a celebration where melodies echo with compassion and every note carries a deeper meaning.

In 2026, Pahan Tharuwa returns, promising an enchanting evening of soul-stirring music and heartfelt connection. Gracing the stage will be some of Sri Lanka’s most beloved and iconic artists, Edward Jayakody, Sashika Nisansala, Chandana Liyanarachchi, and Suneera Sumanga, bringing together generations through the magic of classical and contemporary sounds.
The evening’s musical journey will be masterfully orchestrated by Nalaka Sajee, delivering a rich and immersive symphonic experience. Adding warmth and vibrance to the event, Manuranga Wijesekara will take on the role of compere, ensuring the night flows with charm and energy.
Date: 21st May 2026
Venue: University Gymnasium, University of Peradeniya
Time: From 7:00 PM onwards
More Than Music – A Movement of Kindness
What makes Pahan Tharuwa truly extraordinary is its purpose beyond performance. It is a platform where art becomes a force for good.
This year, the initiative reached out to communities in need by donating essential laboratory equipment to Gampola Jinaraja Girls’ College, helping restore its science laboratory after the destruction caused by Cyclone Ditwah.
Extending its impact further, the organizing team conducted an educational seminar series for Ordinary Level students at Doluwa Madya Maha Vidyalaya, empowering young minds with knowledge, guidance, and inspiration for their future.


Be Part of the Experience
As the lights dim and the first note fills the air, Pahan Tharuwa 2026 will once again remind us that music is more than entertainment, it is a bridge that connects hearts, heals communities, and inspires change.
Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of elegance and purpose.
