The recent charity concert hosted by Collège Champittet was a testament to the school's dual commitment to fostering musical talent and supporting humanitarian causes. The event featured 63 performers from the school's community, ranging from music teachers to student instrumentalists and vocalists, including the children’s choir, women’s choir, and the school rock band. Held on 4 April in the school chapel, the concert offered a diverse musical program that spanned from Baroque to contemporary rock and pop, showcasing instruments like the flute, cello, organ, violin, piano, drums, guitar, marimba, and voice. The performances included works by Bach and Debussy, traditional folk songs, and popular hits such as 'Despacito', creating a memorable evening for all attendees.
Beyond the celebration of music, the concert served a higher purpose by raising over CHF 3,000 for the Collège Champittet Foundation's humanitarian projects, specifically to provide study grants for children in Madagascar. The event not only highlighted the talents of the school's community but also its commitment to making a positive impact beyond the classroom. Audience members, including first-time concert-goers, were impressed by the quality of the performances and the meaningful cause they supported. The success of the evening was a collective achievement, made possible by the performers, organizers, and the generous contributions of the attendees. The school looks forward to continuing this tradition of combining musical excellence with social responsibility in future events.
