The Nice branch of Les Petits Frères des Pauvres was established in 2009. The association is part of the collective convened around the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.
As loneliness has recently been recognized as a “Great National Cause 2011,” Les Petits Frères des Pauvres continue to provide support and comfort to those in need.
The association is organizing a concert on Sunday, June 5, at 3:30 PM at the Notre Dame Basilica, both to raise awareness among the local public in Nice and to collect funds.
On the program: the Musica & Voce ensemble, under the direction of Micaëla Marion, featuring baritone Robert Scherb accompanied on piano by Philippe Abadie.
