Music softens morals, as the adage goes. Sunday January 12, the town really needed it, after the sad Saturday experienced by its inhabitants, following the attack in the town of a jogger on the fitness trail. Pascale Fortunat-Deschamps, mayor, very upset, had difficulty hiding her emotion during her introductory remarks: “ I had prepared a speech which spoke of lightness, carefreeness and happiness and I am going to speak to you about tragedy “, she regretted.

With the performance of forty choristers from the choir of the junior opera of Montpellier, made up of young prodigies aged between 11 and 15 years old with clear, powerful and pure voices, the leaden screed gradually faded.

The audience found itself transported, thanks to an eclectic repertoire of music from the four corners of the planet but also to works by Gabriel Fauré.
