 Celesta is an International Cultural Festival organised by City Montessori School, Aliganj Branch, Lucknow. This 5—day festival has earned quite a name for itself and we had more than 60 entries in Celesta 2007 with teams coming in from many countries of the world along with various parts of India. The high level competitions are judged by eminent authorities and experts in their respective fields. The need for Celesta was felt when it was realized that modernization is diminishing the traditional forms of culture and art. It would be a grievous mistake if our cultural past is lost in the humdrum of modernization since our rich cultural heritage must be preserved as our emotional symbol. Our rich cultural heritage has been a source of inspiration and must continue to be so for generations to come. Therefore, it is the duty of the present generation not only to preserve it but also to promote it so that our future generations continue to draw inspiration from it. The cultural teams of various countries and schools would blend to evolve a combined global culture.
Each team participating in Celesta will comprise not more than 10 students accompanied by a team leader and an accompanist.
We accord a special welcome to the principals of the schools invited to be with us. Keeping in mind the deluge of entries, preference will be given to teams accompanied by the principal of the institution. The Principal is not expected to be the team leader but is a special Guest of Honour.
We would deem it an honour if the Principal could accompany the team.
We shall be glad to extend hospitality including free boarding, lodging, and local transportation to the teams For all details regarding the Schedule of Events, Rules and Regulations you can reach us online at www.cmseducation.org/celesta
