Gift of life – A benefit gala for children and adolescents before and after organ transplantation

Guests can look forward to a memorable evening of music at the upcoming benefit gala, featuring performances by acclaimed violinist Bomsori Kim, soprano Mirjam Mesak, and musicians from the Bayerische Staatsoper. Under the artistic direction of Prof. Dr. Stephan Frucht, the program will include works by Mendelssohn, Mozart and Puccini.

Adding to the evening’s highlights, the ensembles OperaBrass and OPERcussion will present unique arrangements of pieces by J. S. Bach, Carlos Vera-Larrucea, and George Gershwin.

A dynamic light production and a few surprises will add to the atmosphere, creating a truly special experience for the audience. The event is held under the patronage of Elke Büdenbender, former judge and wife of the Federal President; Judith Gerlach, Bavarian State Minister for Health, Care and Prevention; and Dr. Kristina Hammer, President of the Salzburg Festival. All proceeds will benefit the Ederhof Rehabilitation Center in East Tyrol, which supports children and adolescents before and after organ transplantation—helping them regain strength and return to everyday life.
