Denmark: fundraising concert for homeless people
On 9th November, our Danish member held a fundraising concert in the Holmens Church in Copenhagen. Pieces by Bach, Haendel, Vivaldi and Haydn were performed by organ and two trumpets making use of the wide church room. This was the sixth time that Johanniterhjaelpen held its annual fundraising concert, and the number of participants and donations set a new record. The church is made available for these concerts at no cost. Likewise, the musicians, who are acclaimed in Denmark and internationally, performed for free. The full revenue from ticket sales, as well as donations, were passed to 'Morgencaféen', an institution which provides various free services for homeless people, such as food, hygienic facilities, doctors and nurses, and occasional legal advice.
