Das Benefizkonzert des Bundespräsidenten

It's going to be festive, and for a good cause: Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier invites you to the Kuppelsaal - to the Federal President's charity concert in aid of projects to prevent loneliness in old age. Since 1988, the Federal President's charity concert has been held in turn in one of Germany's federal states. The proceeds from these concerts go to social or cultural projects. The NDR Radiophilharmonie, under the direction of chief conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky, will perform a romantic program that is both exciting and touching. The baritone Christian Gerhaher - one of the leading vocal personalities of our time - will be taking part. His expressive song interpretations are considered unique. The concert will be presented by journalist and Grimme Prize winner Siham El-Maimouni.
