The choir performed for children affected by Chernobyl and those separated from their parents during the “Peter Pan” operation. They also collaborated with international artists Grammy Award-winning musicians X Alfonso, Juanes, and Olga Tañón in Paz sin Fronteras, a concert promoting peace to an audience of over 1.2 million people. These experiences shaped who she is today and showed her the power of art to bring people together.
