On the 11th of December, our school hosted a charity Christmas concert that brought together talented performers from different age groups. The concert included songs, instrumental pieces and dance numbers.

The concert was opened by the younger children’s choir of grades 2 and 3 and the children’s choir of grades 4 and 7 with the work “Snow Mill” conducted by Julia Orlova. The ceremony was addressed by the Principal, Mr Andrei Kante, who thanked the school family for their joint work, wished our school family all the best and handed over the reins of power to the Acting Principal, Mr Oleg Zahharov. Oleg wished everyone a wonderful evening and happy holidays.

The musical programme was continued by choirs and dance groups: the younger children’s choir 2-3 and children’s choir 4-7 grades, younger choirs 1st-3rd grades, as well as the duet Sofia Osipova and Eskar Murtazaliev, and the dance group Neposedõ presented unique dance numbers to the audience.

The audience was delighted by the lottery, conducted by Oleg Vares from the NGO “Friends of TTRK” and Jevgenia Zovmer, and the music group Exploding Tomatoes performed exciting tunes. Nikita Lednei – saxophone, Semyon Turovsky – trombone, Alexey Burdin – drums, Alexey Smolyanitsky – guitar, and students from other Tallinn schools . The concert ended with a performance by the children’s choir of 4th-12th grades with the song “Christmas is here again”, soloists – Adele Räppo and Eskar Murtazalijev, and the familiar “Song of the Bears” performed with the audience under the direction of Vassilisa Krivablotskaya.

The evening was hosted by Vassilisa Krivablotskaya and Nikita Nesterov. Andrei Fil and Vladislav Poplavnyy were responsible for the musical side. Thanks to the concert, 548,52 euros were donated to the Tallinn Children’s Hospital Foundation. The concert offered warmth, festive mood and creative joy to all the audience, becoming an important part of the school’s Christmas tradition.

Our sincere thanks go to Inna Rüü and Julia Orlova for preparing the songs and music pieces, to Liina Baranova and Jelena Mazurenko for preparing the dance numbers, and to everyone who took part in organizing the event, as well as to those who supported the charity initiative!
