Music for the greater good: Musicians of all ages perform in charity concert for the Collège Champittet Foundation

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 an unforgettable evening for both performers and audience members.

Beyond the celebration of music, the concert served a higher purpose by raising funds for the Collège Champittet Foundation's humanitarian projects. The event successfully raised over CHF 3,000, which will be directed towards providing 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 support global education. The concert not only provided a platform for students to showcase their talents but also reinforced the importance of community and social responsibility. Attendees and participants alike left the event inspired by the power of music to bring people together for a noble cause, with many expressing eagerness to support future editions of the concert.
