Bengali evening was a great success said MP Kirsten Oswald.

The event was part of a year-round programme of events set up by the local Bengali Performing Arts group to promote culture and showcase the best of traditional and modern arts, music, dance, song, drama, and poetry.

The successful evening provided an impressive array of entertainment and was also attended by Ms Ferdousi Shahriar, Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh.

Kirsten commented: “It was a real pleasure to attend this cultural evening of song and dance at Eastwood Park Theatre. Bengali Performing Arts put on a creative and engaging show which the audience thoroughly enjoyed.

“The children who performed were hugely talented, and it was clear that much work had been done by them, supported by their parents and teachers. It is great to see such talent in our local community, and I commend them for the engaging way that this event was put on.

“The musical and dance performances by the adult performers were beautiful, and my congratulations go to all those involved in putting together such a wonderful show.

“Our community benefits greatly from the work of organisations like Bengali Performing Arts, who add so much to the rich diversity of East Renfrewshire”.
