The Christmas Concert was a lovely event on which we ended the festivities of 2019. Once again, it took place in the beautiful Refectory of the Emmaus Monastery. Almost forty students took to the stage with a wide range of performances from soloists, ensembles, bands, and the newly formed ECP Choir. Our talented performers created a warm, festive atmosphere with traditional Christmas favourites and sing-a-long carols. We could also hear a reading from the Czech poet Jiří Orten. In addition, a dramatic excerpt from the upcoming performance of Romeo & Juliet planned for February was included.
This year the Student Council opted for the collection to go to Centrum Locika. It is a local charity which supports children affected by domestic violence. We were happy to welcome a representative from the charity at the concert. Sincere thanks go to our Head of Music, Eliška Hatinová, for her creative efforts and excellent support of students in their preparation of the Christmas Concert. Many thanks also to all the students and staff who contributed to the making of such a successful and entertaining event.
