“Our emergency is peace” is the motto of the solidarity concert, which will be held on December 17 in the Auditorium Della Conciliazione in Rome and will be broadcast in prime time on Canale 5 on January 1, on the occasion of the World Day of Peace. The musical event will serve to promote two projects in support of the Salesian works in Kyiv and Lviv. The Salesians need a new bomb shelter for their home in the capital of Kyiv since without a shelter the new provisions issued by the government prohibit the use of a structure as a place to promote social activities. The project of the Sons of Don Bosco envisages the construction of an equipped underground shelter and above it the construction of a multi-sports field and a playground, spaces which, once the war is over, can be exploited by converting them into a small theatre. As regards the house in Lviv, the Salesians want to buy musical and sports equipment for a one-year support program which includes various activities for young people in the oratories and during the summer camps.
The XXX edition of the Christmas Concert in the Vatican will have a very rich cast: Fiorella Mannoia, Riccardo Cocciante, Orietta Berti, Neri Marcorè, Gigi D’Alessio, Cristina D’Avena, Amy Lee (singer of the group Evanescence), Hevia, Josè Carreras, Jimmy Sax, Kayma, Aka 7even, the Piccolo Coro “Le dolce note”, the “Vincent Bohanan & Sound of Victory Gospel Choir” and other artists who will be revealed in the coming days.
There will also be the extraordinary participation of Fiona May, testimonial of “Missioni Don Bosco”, the Salesian Mission Office of Turin, Marcell Jacobs, Olympic and world champion in athletics, Chiara Vingione world champion with the Italian national basketball team Fisdir, Elena Sofia Ricci, Leo Gullotta and Bianca Guaccero.
