The programme began officially with the national anthem played by the Sufi Seniyanz Band. Shanaz Ramzi, the official face of SEP, welcomed all the guests on the occasion of the joint celebration of the traditions of Sufi qawwali and Pakistan Day, and mentioned that SEP has always tried to promote music in all its genres not only in Pakistan, but worldwide, and has a history of celebrating Pakistan Day and Independence Day with gusto.

Huma Nassr then shared her plans for the future and mentioned that she planned to hold such gatherings every quarterly and revive the Club after its long hiatus. She said, “Such soirees will help to promote, art, culture, music, and cuisine and we aim to give them international prominence as well.” She also stated that the SEP House would now be open for cultural and art-related events, should anyone be interested in using it for the purpose.
