For three months, Honduras Rising students prepared a repertoire entirely in French. Although they do not receive French language instruction, they learned the pronunciation of each song and performed them with remarkable accuracy.
Led by Elvis Vásquez and Dr. Denissa Rivas, rehearsals brought together students from three rural communities who, because of the distance between them, normally work separately. The project culminated in a joint rehearsal with the Camerata de San Pedro Sula and Honduras Rising’s first concert in the city.
This project was made possible through the support of the Alliance Française of San Pedro Sula, whose partnership was essential from the planning stages through the performance itself. Their commitment and confidence gave our students the opportunity to take part in a truly unique artistic experience.
