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, held on 4 April in the school chapel, showcased 63 performers from the school community, ranging from music teachers to student instrumentalists and vocalists, including the children’s choir, women’s choir, and the school rock band. The concert's program was a vibrant mix of musical genres, from Baroque to contemporary rock and pop, featuring instruments like the flute, cello, organ, violin, piano, drums, guitar, marimba, and voice. Performances included works by Bach and Debussy, traditional folk songs, and popular hits such as 'Despacito', offering something for every musical taste.
Beyond the celebration of music, the concert served a higher purpose: raising funds for the Collège Champittet Foundation's humanitarian projects. The event successfully raised over CHF 3,000, which will directly support study grants for children in Madagascar. This initiative highlights the school's dedication to making a positive impact beyond its campus, leveraging the arts as a means to contribute to global education efforts. The concert not only provided a platform for students to showcase their talents but also reinforced the values of community and social responsibility. Audience members left with a sense of pride in their school's achievements, both musical and philanthropic, with many expressing eagerness to participate in future events.
