The fifth benefit concert

After our sold-out 2024 concert at the Friedenskirche Ludwigsburg and the successful “WUAHL pianissimo 2025” concert at the Marmorsaal Stuttgart, 2026 brought the next major benefit concert at the Friedenskirche.

On 17 October 2026, true to tradition, professional singers, a top-class live band, and the Solitude-Chor Stuttgart – made up of the adult choir, the Soul Voices, and the Wolfbusch children’s and youth choir – took the stage for the fifth benefit concert “Was uns am Herzen liegt” in the magnificent atmosphere of the Friedenskirche Ludwigsburg.

As always, the programme featured songs and pieces of music that are personally close to the hearts of the musicians involved. That is what makes our concerts so special and intimate.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came! You filled the Friedenskirche with life, sang along, applauded – and supported HOPPS with your ticket. This evening would not have been possible without you.

The donation to HOPPS will be handed over in the coming weeks – together with the Gymnasium Rutesheim. We will keep you posted here on our website.
