Impressions of the "Concert for Tomorrow"

Despite hot summer temperatures, more than 1150 guests attended the charity concert “Concert for Tomorrow” organized by help alliance in Munich’s Isarphilharmonie last Saturday. Together with the Munich-Ukrainian Symphony Orchestra, the exceptional violinist Arabella Steinbacher, the tenor Levy Sekgapane and the cellist Oleksandr Piriyev created a unique musical atmosphere and made a successful charity concert for the children in Ukraine possible.

The evening was also marked by emotional performances, such as that of Ukrainian violinist Jelisaweta Saizewa, who talked to moderator Annekatrin Hentschel about her personal war experiences but also about the special cohesion within the orchestra.

After the concert, help alliance Managing Director Andrea Pernkopf was pleased and grateful for the successful event: “The “Concert for Tomorrow” is the best proof that an event of this magnitude can be realized in just five weeks with a very diverse but highly motivated team. My thanks go in particular to the numerous supporters and partners who made this special event possible at such short notice.” Initiator Olivier Krüger (CEO Lufthansa Systems), who had the idea for this benefit concert together with conductor Michael Balke, was also touched by the support: “A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this unique evening – it’s one of the most emotional moments in my life.”

The donations collected through ticket sales and during the concert will be used to renovate and re-equip the music school in Bucha, which was damaged during the war. With the help of music, the hope for a better “tomorrow” for the children in Bucha will hopefully soon become reality.
