Charity Concert for Good Will Committee – Olga Havlová Foundation19/11/07 / News
Law firm Kocián Šolc Balaštík organises the traditional Charity Concert for the Good Will Committee – Olga Havlová Foundation. This year is the concert’s thirteenth year, taking place on Sunday 25 November 2007, 7:00 p.m., at the concert hall of the Church of St. Simon and Jude in Prague Old Town.
The program includes songs by Italian Baroque composers and W. A. Mozart, performed by the Prague Chamber Philharmonics and Bambini di Praga, with violoncellist Jiří Bárta as the soloist to play Concerto D major for a violoncello and orchestra by J. Hayden.
The Goodwill Committee uses the funds collected from the twelve organized concertos to support its New Family and Senior projects. These long-term projects aim to reduce the number of children brought up in children’s homes, to develop the concept of foster care and to support civic associations and charity institutions that offer opportunities for the oldest generation to have active lives and living to a dignified age for elderly fellow citizens who are incapable of caring for themselves.
