On Friday, August 28, Mayor Georges Marsan welcomed Alice Blot to the Mairie to formally receive a generous contribution on behalf of the Academy of Music and Theatre – Prince Rainier III Foundation. The donation comprises six traverso flutes, which have been added to the Academy’s instrument inventory. These historical woodwinds are intended to broaden the students' learning experiences, allowing them to explore new musical practices and potentially inspire future artistic callions.
Also in attendance for the presentation were Jade Sapolin, Director of the Academy, and Jocelyne Vernhet, Deputy Director, who joined in expressing gratitude to Alice Blot for her support of the students.
