Arts Fest 2019, Chatham, Kent
I cannot recommend Arun and Silva Media enough for supporting our public arts event. His knowledge and expertise, collegial connection with the artists, and calm manner when sorting out issues, ensured that our event was a huge success, and I can genuinely say that this would not have happened without him.

Glorious Streams Concert Recording
When engaging with Arun I found he conducted his work in a relaxed friendly manner as well as aiming for producing the highest quality project. He was very reliable and consistent when working with him, as my project with him ranged over a few months. The final product he produced was of high quality and lived up to my expectations.

University of Kent Student Awards :
Outstanding Contributions to Arts & Culture (Extract)
..Arun without fail details within his vlogs (via YouTube) everyday to make a difference for the university, his friends, family and in addition the community.
He is a multi-talented first year classical (Music) student, church organist, classically trained singer and film maker. With a wide and unique skill set that not many people are lucky to possess. Performing at a plethora of churches and concert halls in and out of the country, one performance with the queen in the audience.
He has had a big impact on the university staff and his friends with his outgoing loyalty and technical instrument knowledge. In particular assisting the technicians of the School of Music and Fine Art with repairing their organs. At the local churches (St George's Centre), and the Historic Dockyard church at the university. He is a strong believer in the restoration of these instruments as no one plays them and they are not maintained by anyone.
..Not forgetting his admirable service to the student rep...the amount of hard work he puts into everything he does including the 107+ videos he has created this first year alone and additional input he gives to the university, community and friends...

Charterhouse Boat Club Website
This is to confirm that Arun Silva has been the webmaster of the Charterhouse Rowing website. Arun has set it up from scratch and extended it throughout his three year involvement with it. He has done a great job, and no doubt it will go from strength to strength based on the foundations he has so expertly laid.
I and the boat club are very grateful for all his efforts and expert contributions.

Charterhouse Artifex (Arts Festival)
I have been immensely grateful during Arun’s time here for the work he has done in supporting the Creative Arts at Charterhouse. This has particularly been the case during our annual Arts Festival, Artifex.
As part of the last two years of events, he has pioneered and managed a team of pupils to record all of the events. As part of this he has used various pieces of technical equipment from DSLR’s, camcorders and audio recorders to help the school keep a record of these events. He has also, using professional editing software put together videos for YouTube releases of these events. This has been a considerable undertaking considering that the last Artifex had over fifty events. What has been most impressive, however is the way in which he has managed to inspire a team of enthusiastic helpers to make all of this possible.
Aside from this, Arun has done a sterling job in recording other arts events such as performances by our Burczyk Singers both photographically and with audio recordings. He has mentored a group of young pupils in film and media to ensure that future events are covered in the same way. For this, and for his herculean efforts over the years, I am very grateful indeed to Arun.
