The Czech Philharmonic dedicated its spring concert to all health care workers caring for covid-19 patients. The public collection, which Via Foundation organized for the concert, raised almost CZK 2.5 million. The proceeds will ensure that overworked health care workers in Czech hospitals receive professional psychosocial assistance. The funds will be used to train volunteers from the health care field to provide psychological assistance and support to their peers in hospitals.
On Thursday, March 25th, the Czech Philharmonic played for the heroes and heroines of our time – to all those whose daily stress levels, exhaustion and helplessness are now at unimaginable levels. The concert, which was part of the Spring Stars series, was led by chief conductor Semjon Byčkov and featured two compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, the Coriolanus Overture and the Eroica Symphony No. 3, and Danish virtuoso Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider performed the first violin concerto by Max Bruch. People had the opportunity to send in donations during the concert via text messages, directly to the colleciton bank account or via the online giving tool Darujme.cz. “The results of the public collection to support health care workers organized by Via Foundation on the occasion of the concert surprised us,” admitted David Mareček, CEO of the Czech Philharmonic. “We hadn’t expected it to raise so much. We sincerely thank all donors!”

The goal is to train 1,200 health care workers as volunteer psychosocial supporters in all. This will create a unique network of peer psychological support intervention, both for the current pandemic and for future crises.
