Chantée Public
Tsunami Benefit Concert
The Mozart Requiem

January 16, 2005
Eglise St. Francois,
Lausanne

More than 300 singers, musicians and soloists performed the Mozart Requiem to raise money for the victims of the tsunami in south-east asia. A collection exceeding 17,000 Swiss francs went to Terre des Hommes and their efforts to ensure the well-being of children in Sri Lanka.

One week before the concert, Voix d'Espérance issued an open invitation to all singers wishing to participate. The response exceeded our greatest expectations. Singers from as far as German-speaking Switzerland joined along with singers from the Canton of Vaud to prepare the Mozart Requiem in a single 2-hour rehearsal. A professional ad-hoc orchestra and 4 soloists (Blandine Charles, Marie-Hélène Essade, Valerio Contardo and Stephane Imboden) gave benevolently of their talents and time, for which we are deeply grateful.
