Music and charity: benefit concert in Klosterneuburg!

On Sunday, March 23, 2025, the Stiftskirche Klosterneuburg becomes the stage for musical charity. Under the title "Lyrical in these times", actor Cornelius Obonya will present poems, while the youth ensemble of abbey music under the direction of Danile Freistetter provides the background music. This benefit concert has an important goal: donations are to be collected to support educational projects in Doba (Chad) and Gadamabanga (Cameroon). The recommended contribution for visitors is 25 euros, whereby the income directly benefits the missionaries of St. Franz von Sales, who are committed to better formation of children in these regions, such as Noen.at reported.

Leighton, who has lived in Austria for many years, is known as an organ professor at the Bruckner University Linz and, with his deep understanding of the music of the 17th century, brings a special flair to the event. Tickets for the concert are available online, whereby the entry for adults is 17 euros and for pupils and students from 14 to 18 years 9 euros. Children up to 14 years even have free admission. The event begins at 3:00 p.m., and for interested parties there is already an organ tour at 2:00 p.m., such as dietstffarre supplemented.
