On October 16, an extraordinary benefit concert will take place in the Beethoven-Haus Bonn, dedicated to the well-being of children and young musicians in crisis and emergency situations worldwide. The event unites well-known musicians on one stage with selected young talents who have now found a home in Germany. Together they bring their skills together to provide assistance to those affected by wars and emergencies in different countries.
