A chance to make a difference through music. Through its wide-ranging work, the Mammazentrum Hamburg Foundation helps women facing a breast cancer diagnosis by offering support, guidance and care. For the foundation’s charity concert, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra from Hamburg’s twin city of Prague performs alongside Hamburg pianist Sebastian Knauer. Together, they perform works by Beethoven, Dvořák, Mozart and Gershwin, with ticket proceeds supporting the foundation’s important work during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
