Some recipients of Alfred Music’s (@Alf red_music) generous gift (a collection of Italian art songs and arias)! It is our hope that these young choristers will sing for their communities to bring beauty and peace to their neighbors, specifically in Ngiri Ngiri, a poverty-stricken commune in Kinshasa. 🇨🇩 💖 #opera #operanauts #operanautsinkinshasha #kinshasa🇨🇩 #kinshasa #congo #classical music #alfredmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0O4qklUip/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x9inf16zrl3t
