This year the Youth Solidarity Concert, organized by the Colegio Mayor Ayete, reaches a milestone: the twelfth edition. The university students of the city have organized, once again, this solidarity initiative in order to help the homeless served by Caritas Gipuzkoa. This has been highlighted by the head of the Social Commission of Colegio Mayor Ayete, Miguel Arribas, in the press conference that has been held in Caritas, together with director of Caritas Gipuzkoa, José Ramón Aramendi.

The concert will take place on Friday, February 28 at 8 pm in the Church of San Vicente and will feature the Orfeón Donostiarra, which will perform aconcert of sacred music, under the baton of director Jose Antonio Sainz Alfaro and Gerardo Rifón on the organ. The program will be based on sacred works by Fauré, Rossini, Mendelsson, Casals, Jenkins, Webber and Leonard Cohen, among others. The soloists will be Julia Blasco, Ane Urrutikoetxea Juncal Baroja and Aroa Guerediain.

"I want to show my gratitude, one more year, to Colegio Mayor and to the students of the School, for their sensitivity and for caring about the most disadvantaged people, who are those who are on the street and whom we take in day by day," said Aramendi.

 The head of the Social Commission of Colegio Mayor Ayete, Miguel Arribas, has highlighted the double function of the event, which on the one hand collaborates with people in status disadvantaged, and on the other hand, promotes the participation of young university students in cultural events and volunteer activities. "The interesting thing is that it is young students who take the lead, and that the project is maintained year after year. I am convinced that on Friday we will begin to think about next year's concert, and this illusion, this desire to make visible the suffering of others, is the most important thing of all," said Arribas.

 For his part, Javier Pérez, who like Miguel Arribas is student of Engineering at Tecnun-University of Navarra, says that he is looking forward to organizing this initiative, because it is a "good opportunity to get out of ourselves, make visible the great work of Caritas, and open ourselves to the city, putting the focus on those who need it most".

It should be noted that this is the seventh year that the Orfeón has collaborated with this initiative.
