Written by jnkgazmy on . Posted in News, Tours & Events.

The annual Leonardo4Children Awards Ceremony and charity concert, “From Leonardo to Puccini,” was a resounding success on October 4, 2024, in Brussels, bringing together 550 enthusiastic participants.

The concert showcased the remarkable talents of young singers from Lycée Francais Jean Monnet and European School Brussels IV, alongside a captivating theatre performance of “Le Piccole Canaglie.” We were also thrilled to feature exceptional professional musicians, including Sara Barakat, Olga Artemenko, Phaedra Pribilla, Valentina Volpe Andreazza, Bruno Ispiola, and Laurent Beeckmans.

This event would not have been possible without the support of our partners and the active participation of our attendees. Together, we raised over €3,000 for young people in need in Belgium through the Boost for Talents project of the King Baudouin Foundation. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful cause!
