According to
Swisster, Phil Collins performed at a charity concert last night at the
Châtaigneraie campus of the International School of Geneva. The school
celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, and
The concert was performed for a privileged few members of the school
community as part of a centenary gala
in a 300-seat hall on the campus.
Collins helped direct a music group of
nine students aged 14-18. They started off the anniversary celebrations by
performing a selection of Genesis songs in a 20-minute set.
As part of the second set of the
concert, three songs were sung by a choir of 30 students aged 13 to 18 years
old, who had been rehearsing this week with Collins. The songs sung by the
choir included: True Colours, Come with Me, and Take
Me Home. The
second set also included Collins' own 45-minute performance with three
members of his touring band.

titles, the final batch of studio albums spanning 1970 to 1975 will be

these mini LP versions are exclusive Japanese only editions and are limited
edition. Mini LP SACD + DVD sets being released in Japan in January include:
