More than 50 artists raised funds for Corona-Hilfe at a benefit concert held infront of the St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna’s 1st District on Friday evening, May 28, 2021. The event was initiated by former Life Ball organizer Gery Keszler. The concert featured the way Austria’s ancestors have dealt with crises and major challenges over the past seven centuries.
In the course of the event, Conchita Wurst made her world premiere. The Eurovision winner sang “Rise like a Phoenix” in German for the first time.
“Austria for Life” is an Austria-wide initiative of the association “Life+”, which was already behind the Life Ball. The donated amount will benefit the aid organization “Austria helps Austria”, an umbrella organization of Caritas, Diakonie, Hilfswerk, Rotes Kreuz, Samariterbund and Volkshilfe.
