Benefit concert for the benefit of Volkshilfe Wien

Join us for the Benefit Concert for the benefit of Volkshilfe Wien, a dazzling showcase of world‑class repertoire that celebrates music’s power to bring people together. The program opens with the passionate rhythms of Georges Bizet’s **Carmen Suite No. 1** and its stirring second excerpts, setting the stage for a night of exceptional artistry. Followed by Giuseppe Verdi’s commanding **Overture to Nabucco**, the concert then explores the gentle variations of Aaron Copland’s **Variations on a Shaker Melody** and the iconic 7th movement from the ballet music **Appalachian Spring**. Fans of musical theatre will delight in Leonard Bernstein’s vivid **Excerpts from West Side Story**, masterfully arranged by Jack Mason, before a modern twist with Klaus Badelt’s memorable **Music from Pirates of the Caribbean**, arranged by Ted Ricketts. The evening culminates with Johann Strauss Sr.’s rousing **Radetzky March, Op. 228**, an anthem that echoes through the ages. This incredible lineup not only delights the senses but also supports the charitable mission of Volkshilfe Wien. Check the **Details & tickets** link to secure your seat and contribute to a wonderful cause.
