Berlin-based musician Mathis Richter-Reichhelm is preparing to host another benefit concert for the Christophorus Hospice Service, continuing a tradition of musical philanthropy. The event, reminiscent of his successful “SIXTY” concert last summer, promises an evening of diverse and energetic performances featuring numerous fellow musicians. The concert aims to raise funds for the AMBULANT HOSPICE SERVICE CHRISTOPHORUS e.V., a non-profit organization providing crucial support to those facing serious illness and end-of-life care.
Richter-Reichhelm, a composer, producer, and performer with over four decades in the music industry, has assembled a lineup that reflects his extensive collaborations. The concert will not only showcase tracks from his four solo albums and his work on film and television productions, but also pay tribute to his late friend Sherman Noir, with performances of songs they created together. Fans can also anticipate hearing selections from his album, Swimming The Nile. This benefit concert underscores the power of music to support vital community services.
A Night of Collaboration and Remembrance
A particular highlight of the evening will be performances of “Summer Rain” and “Neon Angel,” songs co-created with John Helliwell, the renowned keyboardist from Supertramp. The concert will be held at Kulturhaus Spandau: Freilichtbühne an der Zitadelle, located at Am Juliusturm 62, 13599 Berlin, according to visitBerlin.de. The open-air venue provides a fitting backdrop for an event intended to be filled with “positive energy and moving moments.”
The Ambulanter Hospizdienst Christophorus e.V. Was founded in 1997 and provides comprehensive support to individuals with serious illnesses and their families, encompassing psychosocial, nursing, and medical assistance. The organization relies heavily on volunteer support, with individuals undergoing specialized training to provide companionship, counseling, and practical help. They also offer bereavement support for children, adolescents, and adults, and train volunteers as end-of-life companions. More information about the organization’s work can be found on their website.
Supporting a Vital Community Resource
Notably, all musicians participating in the benefit concert are donating their performance fees to the Christophorus Hospice Service, maximizing the impact of the event. This commitment to the cause reflects a strong sense of community and a shared desire to support those in demand. The concert builds on the success of Richter-Reichhelm’s previous benefit event, the “SIXTY” concert, demonstrating his ongoing dedication to philanthropic endeavors. Kulturvolk.de notes that the 60th Anniversary Concert celebrated Richter-Reichhelm’s decades-long career in the music business.
The organization also hosted a New Year’s reception on January 23, 2026, with nearly 50 attendees, demonstrating continued community engagement.
As the concert approaches, it represents a valuable opportunity to support the Christophorus Hospice Service and enjoy an evening of exceptional music. The event promises a radiant atmosphere and a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and community support.
What comes next for the Christophorus Hospice Service will depend on the success of this and other fundraising efforts, allowing them to continue providing essential care and support to those facing life-limiting illnesses and their families.
