The VHP was thrilled to have Les Petits Chanteurs and chamber ensemble, a group of Haitian singers and musicians, perform on campus!  Les Petits Chanteurs sang to an audience of about 500 in the Vassar College chapel on Friday, September 24th.  At intermission the group was presented with a check for $9,000 to be put toward the reconstruction of the Holy Trinity Music School, their school in Port-au-Prince.  Les Petits Chanteurs delivered a lively, spirited concert that featured dancing, drums, soaring solos, and rousing full group numbers.  In the program’s last song, which celebrated the entire Haitian country, members of the choir pulled out Haitian flags of all sizes and waved them as they sang.

The VHP wishes Les Petits Chanteurs all the best in the rest of their performances.  The group is on tour in the US, performing 40 concerts in 30 days to raise money to rebuild Holy Trinity, Haiti’s only music school.

Thanks to all those who participated in the event and made it a success!  Take a look at some of the photos from the concert ice cream social afterwards.
