The Royal Theatre of La Monnaie has a quite successful sponsorship programme<\/a>. 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<\/a> . 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sang a small repertoire of polyphonic arrangements of Faur\u00e9 and one gospel song by Keith Hampton<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the list of pieces we sang :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
