Russian button accordionist Aydar Gaynullin performed the "Tango de Amor" program with six other soloists and his 14-piece orchestra at the sold-out Vogel Convention Center. Presenter Johannes Engels gave a profound and humorous introduction to the evening and shared interesting facts about the music program. Michelin-starred chef Benedikt Faust from Mundgold Catering served up a fitting culinary crossover.

Lord Mayor Christian Schuchardt accepted the donation cheque on behalf of the social department of the city of Würzburg and thanked the quartet of organizers for their extraordinary entrepreneurial commitment. Deputy Managing Director Jürgen Bode was present on behalf of the Würzburg-Schweinfurt Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

The arrival of refugees in Mainfranken has presented our region with major challenges, but it also offers great opportunities. The regional economy in particular is looking for new talent. This year's crossover benefit concert aims to support the professional integration of young refugees in the region. In cooperation with the Social Department of the City of Würzburg and the Würzburg-Schweinfurt Chamber of Industry and Commerce, four sponsorship projects will be initiated and implemented.

With the Würzburg charity concert, the four organizers, Koenig & Bauer, Mediengruppe Main-Post, Robert Krick Verlag and Vogel Business Media, have established a major social charity event for Würzburg every year. After ten years of purely classical concerts, a new series was launched in 2016. Personalities, organizations and service clubs from Würzburg society support this extraordinary event and the good cause it promotes. In the first ten years, over 550,000 euros in donations have already been handed over in this way.
