A charity evening with baroque tension and musical elegance
The 9th Lions Charity Concert brings classical soundscapes to the Protestant Heilig Kreuz Church in Augsburg on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The program features works by Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, interpreted by Konny Chen on the piccolo flute, Sandro Roy on the violin, and the orchestra The Global Players under the musical direction of Wilhelm F. Walz.
Music between virtuosity and warmth
The evening combines baroque brilliance with chamber music precision and the character of a charity concert that extends far beyond pure concert enjoyment. Vivaldi's sound language opens the space with buoyant energy, Bach's violin concerto in a jazz and gypsy version emphasizes rhythmic tension and spontaneous presence, while Mendelssohn's string symphony rounds off the evening with fine orchestration and romantic depth.
A program with character
The cast promises a differentiated concert experience: Konny Chen's piccolo flute sets bright, clear accents, Sandro Roy leads the violin with stylistic agility through classical and improvisational passages, and The Global Players ensure orchestral cohesion. It is precisely this blend of classical repertoire, stylistic openness, and live palpable audience atmosphere that makes the charm of the evening.
A historic location with special acoustics
The Protestant Heilig Kreuz Church is one of the prominent concert venues in Augsburg. As the city's first Protestant church and a so-called European Peace Church, it combines historic aura with acoustics that are regularly used for concerts. The sacred space enhances the transparent sound and creates that concentrated live atmosphere that allows classical music to have an immediate impact.
More than a concert: Help for the region
The charity idea gives the evening additional depth. The Lions Aid Organization Augsburg Elias Holl e.V. supports seniors, hospices, children's homes, and the warming room with the proceeds. Those who listen here experience not only a carefully curated concert but also culture with a social mandate. This makes the event particularly valuable for Augsburg.
The 9th Lions Charity Concert promises an evening full of tonal contrasts, musical quality, and palpable solidarity. Anyone wishing to experience classical music in a special church space while supporting a regional aid project should mark this date.
