Ahead of her choir showcase Footprints, 32-year-old Dawn Cordo talks to us about the labour of love that is managing an enthusiastic children’s choir. Like mother, like daughter, we’d say. After forming the choir group Glee Hive in 1990, her mother Celeste Cordo has helped many young, restless talents find perfect pitch in the neighbourhood. Celeste herself would say she learnt from the best in the business growing up. Josic Menzie, for instance — the ace violinist who became one of the first Indian jazz musicians to play at the Taj Mahal Hotel.
