The Hungarian Broadway Stars Company is giving a charity concert in the capital’s 16th district at the Erzsébetligeti Theater, in the name of solidarity. They will be accompanied by the choir of the Budapest Police Headquarters and the Rapid Response and Special Police Service‘s orchestra. The proceeds will support the Hungarian Foundation for Children with Leukemia.
The diverse performance will feature songs from all genres. Global hits, dance songs, Hungarian musicals, and classical choral works will be heard, said Tamás Tóth, the president of the Broadway Arts and Cultural Association.
Last year’s event centered around music from popular movies.
They successfully gathered a total of one million forints for the ZóNa Foundation, which supports orphaned or half-orphaned children related to the police staff, and the Pediatric Center’s Tűzoltó street Department.
Tóth stated that this year they are supporting the work of a rural organization, the Hungarian Foundation for Children with Leukemia, based in Debrecen.
He added that the concert at the end of February is the final program of a three-stage charity event. Last October, the proceeds from their gala were already donated to the foundation to help the families in need. In December, they organized an Advent charity gala, inviting the children and their families who were then able to visit the Parliament Building.
