After the success of last year, we are delighted for the second time with a successful concert evening in support of the PATRIZIA Foundation with the Regensburger Domspatzen.

An enchanting evening full of music and solidarity lies behind us, as the world-famous Regensburger Domspatzen performed in the Frauenfriedenskirche in the Bockenheim district of Frankfurt. Following the motto 'In dulci jubilo' – 'Now sing and be happy!' the Regensburger Domspatzen impressed with a first-class concert in the festively adorned and impressively illuminated church. After the concert, concert guests and friends of the PATRIZIA Foundation enjoyed a cozy Christmas get-together in the courtyard of the church – with German Christmas cookies, punch, and traditional hot Frankfurt apple wine.

The evening was not only a concert event but also a strong symbol of shared solidarity and the power of music to bring about positive changes in the world.

The entire proceeds of the concert go entirely to the PATRIZIA Foundation Hearts4Change campaign to enable education for the children in Muniguda, India. The renovation and comprehensive expansion of the school are a lighthouse project for the entire Odisha region in East India. Especially girls, marginalized in the traditional structures of the region, are to be offered an alternative to early child marriage with a school place up to the upper school. We would like to express our sincere thanks to our generous partners, sponsors, and all donors who have made this possible."

Thank you to our sponsor:

An Evening of Shared Vision and Personal Stories

In his welcoming speech, Wolfgang Egger talked about the importance of investing in young people and creating opportunities that allow them to thrive — academically, personally and socially. Ambassador Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber delivered a passionate speech on the importance of protecting arts education in the UK, particularly at a time when music and creative subjects continue to face significant cuts within the school system. He spoke movingly about the responsibility to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to creativity, culture and music education.

Chairwoman of the Board Astrid Gabler, together with Board Member James Muir, reflected on their recent visit to one of the programme’s partner schools. James shared how deeply a passionate music teacher had influenced him during his own school years and how this experience continues to shape his belief in the importance of the support in education infrastructure. 

Rachel Landon, CEO MiSST, brought the programme vividly to life through inspiring footage and powerful stories from participating students, offering guests a meaningful glimpse into the daily impact of the initiative.

One of the most moving moments of the evening came from Rain Spiegel-Johnson, a former participant of the programme, who shared her personal journey. She spoke openly about how access to music education has shaped her confidence, supported her personal development, and positively influenced her life path.
