We have been confined to our homes for a never-ending number of weeks, in a suspended environment, uncertain, anxious about not knowing what would happen and concerned about having any type of contact with others. Everybody has been affected, activities brusquely interrupted, concerts postponed, plans upset, studies on hold and loneliness. The Music Conservatory, at this time, has shown us just how supportive and present it is: in fact it set up a Support Fund aimed at us students, especially for those who found themselves alone from one day to the next, far from their families, unable to go home, without being able to take part in musical activities or other types of activities to support their studies. And the whole community was not slow in showing its incredible and extensive support, including raising a huge sum of money (to date, more than 130 thousand francs) and 90 bursaries assigned almost immediately. The aim, now, is to keep the fund active through the coming months, as the concert seasons slowly restart. I, also, have benefitted directly from the fund and feel the need to send special thanks to the Music Conservatory, on my part and also on behalf of the Students’ Association, for this important initiative in our favour, for this act that goes beyond the significance of the sum itself, although it represented a real support for us. It has also given us strength and trust, has made us feel part of the Institution and helped us to hope, to still plan ahead in spite of everything. We can continue to believe in, now and forever, a universal love, that has no prejudices, that resides silently in man’s heart, revealing itself in moments of great hardship and need.
