United for Ukraine: Solidarity Concert at Vienna's Marx Halle on February 21

The solidarity concert at Vienna's Marx Halle is intended for the nearly 100,000 Ukrainian war refugees who have arrived in Austria, as well as for the aid projects of the organization Neighbor in Need, which are being carried out in Ukraine. Performing from Austria are artists Lemo and Esther Graf, and from Ukraine Shumei, Zlata Ognevich, and Tina Karol. The hosting will also be shared between Austria and Ukraine, with Lukas Schweighofer and Daryna Tregubova as moderators. Highlights of the event can be seen on Saturday, February 22, on ORF 1 at 11:40 PM, and on W24.

Solidarity Concert Raises Funds for Neighbor in Need Aid Projects

"In Austria, we feel that the terrible war in Ukraine still affects people even three years after it began. The refugees who came to us were welcomed with open arms. For most, returning home is not possible as the fighting continues, their homes have been destroyed, and large parts of the country are mined. Now, for many, it's about learning German better, finding a job, and making new friends far from home," said Dr. Cornelius Granig, President of the organization "All for Ukraine - Help for Ukraine." The solidarity concert is intended to give refugees the opportunity to feel a little at home for at least one evening. Granig thanks the numerous supporters, as well as ORF and W24, who give TV viewers the opportunity to enable further aid projects by Neighbor in Need in Ukraine through their donations.

"I am pleased that with the benefit concert in the Marx Halle, we can show our ongoing solidarity with Ukraine and draw attention to the fact that this war is still ongoing and that people in Ukraine – including families and children – are experiencing great suffering. That is why ORF supports this initiative for a good cause and broadcasts the concert, featuring great acts, on ORF 1," said Prof. Pius Strobl, ORF Head of Corporate Social Responsibility. ORF supports the "Neighbor in Need - Help for Ukraine" campaign through television, radio, ORF.at, TELETEXT, and all regional studios. This is done, among other things, through the benefit concert "United for Ukraine" at the Vienna Marx Halle, which is broadcast on ORF 1. Neighbor in Need was founded over 30 years ago by ORF, Caritas, and the Red Cross to help people in the former Yugoslavia. In addition to the founding organizations, the Workers' Samaritan Federation, CARE, Diakonie, Hilfswerk International, Malteser Hospital Service, and Volkshilfe also provide assistance, currently for three years in Ukraine.
