To Make Some Kids Dreams Come True
The Embassy of France in DC is helping kids at the inspiring Duke Ellington School for the Performing Arts tour in France next month and you can help. This just in from the brilliant Cultural Attache:
The Embassy of France is helping to send the Show Choir of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts on a tour of France next month. These young and very talented students will perform in several very prestigious venues: the Church of Saint-Eustache in Paris, Blues Passions Festival in Cognac, Sylvanes Abbey, the Chorégies d'Orange, Beaune, etc. -- and the response from French cultural institutions has been tremendous.
The choir and its individual members have raised funds throughout the year -- and we are so proud of their dedication to fulfill their dream! Two outstanding companies, DAI-Careers and SAFRAN, have been extremely generous in supporting the tour.
While a great deal of the funding has already been raised, three final concerts before their departure will hopefully help to generate the remainder needed.
It is our honor to invite you to attend one of these exceptional performances at La Maison Française. You will fall under their spell just as we have -- and you will know that by purchasing a ticket, you will be sending them on the adventure of a lifetime.
