Private Concert for La Monnaie’s Sponsors

Private Concert for La Monnaie’s Sponsors

On April 16th 2025 my choir – La Monnaie Youth Choir –  performed at an event held for the sponsors of La Monnaie opera house to announce the coming season of shows.


The Royal Theatre of La Monnaie has a quite successful sponsorship programme. To attract benefactors and raise funds, among other activitities, our opera house organises regularly philantropic gala dinners and exclusive events for patrons and sponsors, often including a concert by the Youth Choir . In previous occasions we performed at the main auditorium, but this time the event was hosted in a private venue, in Brussels, close to the Court of Justice.

We sang a small repertoire of polyphonic arrangements of Fauré and one gospel song by Keith Hampton.

Here is the list of pieces we sang :


Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924)

  • Les Djinns
  • Les berceaux
  • Au bord de l’eau
  • Mai
  • Chanson d’amour

Keith Hampton (1957-)

  • Praise His Holy Name!

I don’t have any videos of the performance as it was a private event in which filming was forbidden (we weren’t even allowed to bring our phones in), but I am posting here a picture of some choir members.
