On 27th December 2018 the Latin Church in Gaza joined with the Gaza branch of the ESNCM and the French Cultural Centre to host a Christmas concert at the church. Two ESNCM teachers, Yulia Abu Namous and Elena Radwan, led an ensemble of ESNCM students in a performance of classical music, including works for violin and piano and Christmas vocal music.  180 people attended the event, and the success of the concert encouraged Father Yousef and the ESNCM to plan for more musical events at the church in the future.
