Channel Aid - live in Concert
Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
03.01.2023 | 20:00h

The project "Channel Aid - live in Concert" (CALIC for short) launched a unique series of charity concerts. The idea was launched as a matter of the heart of the FABS Foundation & Channel Aid and is now a fixed part of a calendar year. But not only that, CALIC celebrates its 5th birthday in 2023, but also a new name "Channel Aid - live in Concert by JBL". The Foundation's motto is simple, yet so important, because "Young people want to make a difference." This spirit runs like a thread through the concept. A young target group is addressed and integrated into the charity work to help children, young people and people with disabilities and social diversity.

We are proud to communicate our new headliner and are looking forward to Wincent Weiss on 03.01.2023, who will perform for the first time at the Elbphilharmonie in the Grand Hall. His arrangements will be restaged by the musical background of conductor Jean-Christoph Spinosi with the Ensemble Matheus. As support acts, we are pleased to announce the performances of KAYEF as well as Loi.

"Channel Aid - live in Concert by JBL" generates funds through on-demand content (e.g. from the live stream) that benefit the good cause. In 2018, the event kicked off with two concerts in one of the most impressive locations in the world - the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Superstars such as "Rita Ora" and rapper "Cro" wowed the audience. They were supported by acts like "MAX", "Leroy Sanchez" or "DJ Tay James" & "Devon Stixx Taylor", who are part of Justin Bieber's band.

The third edition of "Channel Aid - live in Concert by JBL" topped everything once again and so again took place at the Elbphilharmonie on 04 January 2020. Headliner was the British band "Bastille", who inspire the world with their hits "Pompeii" or "Happier". The superstars played a "once in a lifetime" show together with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic Orchestra, which was led by star conductor "Kristjan Järvi" and complemented with another special moment, a 12-member choir. As support acts of the evening the show was opened by the internationally known newcomers "Allie Sherlock" and "Madilyn Bailey".

After the Corona pandemic and the involuntary break, and just in time for the 5th anniversary of "Channel Aid - live in Concert by JBL", the next round will take place on 03.01.2023. The event will again be hosted by the well-known and popular Radio Hamburg presenter Christian Stübinger.

Who regrettably does not get a ticket for the show on 03.01.23, has the chance to follow via live stream the concert on YouTube (channel @ChannelAid). In addition, donations are achieved simply by "clicking" and thus help support the charity projects. Further concerts are also being planned.

All this is only possible thanks to the great support of JBL, Amazon Music, DB-Cargo, Holsten, Tommy Hilfiger, Fritz Kola, Carlsberg, The WestIn Hamburg, Wall & Apcoa and many more helpers in front of and behind the stage we would like to thank already now! Together we create unique experiences with sustainability. The proceeds will go to the projects of the FABS Foundation. These are primarily "Right to Play" and "Chance to Dance".

The well known dancing school „Mein Tanzstudio“ in Hamburg has been offering dancing classes for persons with disabilities for years. Every Sunday people from any age group can learn to dance, studying the dancing classics at their own speed and under professional guidance. The personal support addresses the needs of every individual and helps them with their integration into social society. The city of Hamburg honored this project with the Social Award in 2011. Through Chance to Dance, the FABS Foundation and Mein Tanzstudio will be able to extend the range of classes and introduce the concept to different dancing schools throughout Germany.

Right To Play is an international children's aid foundation. In 15 countries they impart knowledge and skills to children so that they can develop their potential in every child. Through play & sport they make children strong so that they can take their future into their own hands. A game works! A football game conveys tolerance and teamwork; a catching game can explain malaria.
To achieve a sustainable impact, Right To Play works closely with local charities and ministries. They train teachers and coaches in game-based teaching methods and provide materials, training and resources.

Laureus Sport for Good is composed of Sport for Good Foundation, the World Sports Academy as well as the World Sports Awards. Today, it is one of the most well known Foundations worldwide. Patron Nelson Mandela said: "Sport has the Power to change the World". Following this guiding principle they implement projects worldwide. They use sport to give children a chance to develop and to smooth out social differences. Foundation initiator Fabian Narkus won the Laureus Award in 2012. The since existing strong bond was the basis for deciding to support the projects of Laureus with parts of the donations generated from the FABS Foundation.
