Benefit concert in Gera: Jazz for monument protection on September 13th!

In a few days a very special benefit concert will take place at the Culture and Congress Center in Gera. On September 13, 2025 at 7:30 p.m., the Grundton D series invites you to the concert by the Federal Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Theresia Philipp. The event is a symbol of cultural diversity and is also organized on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the German Foundation for Monument Protection. denkmalschutz.de reports that benefit concerts have been part of this series since 1990 and that the proceeds specifically benefit the preservation of historical buildings and monuments.

The program entitled “As We Go – Jazz meets History” focuses on building bridges between East and West and thus connects the past with the present. It is not only a cultural highlight, but also a plea for openness and shared thinking. The talented saxophonist Theresia Philipp takes over the direction and musical direction. The special atmosphere of the concert is complemented by the impressive architecture of the culture and congress center, which was built between 1977 and 1981 and is considered an important monument to Eastern modernism. tag-des-offenen-denkmals.de emphasizes that the building with its 1,700 seats and the 450 square meter relief wall “Song of Life” is a unique place for such an event.

A significant contribution to monument preservation

The city of Gera has also made a gradual renovation decision, which is intended in particular to restore the interior of the culture and congress center. Support through events like this charity concert is of great importance. The musicians performing and the entire team are committed to preserving and passing on the cultural treasures of our heritage. It turns out that cultural heritage is more than ever a shared project of society. deutschlandfunk.de addresses the challenges that climate change poses for the preservation of monuments. A large number of historic buildings are at risk from extreme weather events and climatic changes, which increases the need for effective monument preservation measures.

Tickets for the benefit concert are available for 20 euros, both online at ztix.de and at the box office. A visit to this concert is not only a sonorous experience, but also an active contribution to safeguarding our cultural history. It remains to be hoped that many music lovers and those interested in culture will find their way to Gera to work together to support the preservation of this valuable heritage.
