We are overwhelmed by the willingness to help during our benefit concert with Aleksey Semenenko and Inna Firsova! The more than impressive sum of 14,240 euros has come together! We would never have expected such a great willingness to donate and we are overjoyed about it - because now we can help even more young artists from Ukraine.
With the donations we will now pay several scholarships to young artists (especially female musicians) who had to flee to Germany and now want to continue their music studies here. These scholarships will be paid monthly starting May 1st for half a year each and should help to finance the living costs in these difficult times.
As a small reminder of this wonderful evening, we have created a photo gallery of the benefit concert here. Many thanks to our photographer Jörg Saibou! (www.studiosaibou.de)
In this blog about Ukraine-Hilfe we will also report regularly about all our scholarship holders - because we would like to help them permanently and not lose sight of them. So here you can always find out how much good the donations can do!
What power lies in music and coming together in concert! Only music can touch us in such a way, give us courage and strength to stand up for our ideals. Yes, we are living in a real change of times. But we can help to shape it for the better by standing up for freedom, solidarity and sustainability with our actions.
In this spirit, we look forward to welcoming you to one of our concerts!
