Mangaluru: The Konkani Cultural Organization (KCO) is all set to celebrate its Pearl Jubilee in grand style on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at Kulshekar Church Grounds, Mangaluru. The much-awaited event will begin at 5 PM and is being held in collaboration with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP), Mangalore.

The highlight of the evening will be a live performance by Indian Idol 12 finalist Nihal Tauro, the versatile Mangalorean singer who has captivated audiences across India. Tauro, known for his soulful voice and energetic stage presence, hails from Moodbidri and has lent his voice to over 25 Konkani albums, 12 films, and 200+ stage shows.

A musical evening with a cause

The jubilee celebration will feature an ensemble of renowned Konkani singers alongside Tauro, promising an unforgettable night of music, nostalgia, and cultural pride. Organisers have urged the public to book their seats early, as KCO events are known to attract full-house audiences.

KCO, a prominent name among Konkani associations in the UAE and India, has built a strong reputation not just for hosting quality entertainment events, but also for its philanthropic efforts. The organisation regularly supports underprivileged students with scholarships, provides medical aid to critical patients, and works closely with NGOs in Karnataka helping the poor and marginalised.
