On 10 December, the Cassandra Choir celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with a concert on the Brussels Grand Place.
Last season, in the run-up to the creation of the opera Cassandra, La Monnaie established an amateur choir that raised awareness of the climate change during a whole series of public demonstrations and events. This season, the eighty members of this Cassandra choir pursue their commitment. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, they performed their new repertoire of protest songs at the Grand Place in Brussels. This concert, initiated by the president of Forum Nord-Sud, Pierre Galand, marked a heartwarming and powerful moment of hope and music for the hundreds of people present.
