Haitian Choir "Les Petits Chanteurs" to sing in the Vassar College Chapel this Friday, September 24th!
Art drives the Vassar Haiti Project. Members of the VHP are lucky enough to constantly be working with colorful paintings and handicrafts that capture Haitian vibrancy. Haiti’s creative, artistic culture extends past the visual arts, though. Music is an essential, even more accessible form of artistic expression that Haiti prizes. This weekend, in a very special VHP-sponsored event, a choir of young men from Haiti will be bringing their music directly to the Vassar campus in a live concert celebrating Haitian spirit, courage, and resilience.The chorus, Les Petits Chanteurs and Chamber Ensemble, is composed of 30 students and young men from the Holy Trinity Music School in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The group is embarking on a 30-day tour of the East Coast, giving concerts and raising money to rebuild their school, which was ruined in last January’s earthquake. 100% of the proceeds of the concert will go to the reconstruction of Holy Trinity, Haiti’s only music school.Les Petits Chanteurs will be performing in the Vassar College Chapel at 7 pm on Friday, September 24th. Come enjoy their music, celebrate their dedication, and be a part of the enormous energy of Haiti and the VHP!Les Petits ChanteursVassar College ChapelFriday, September 24th7 pm Tickets:Adults- $10Children (under 18) - $5Children (under 5)- FreeVassar students- Free (recommended donation- $5)
