Gospel for people in need

The Sustrum-Moor Gospel Choir sings and raises funds for LandsAid Ukraine projects

When Music Brings Hope

Charity Concert for Ukraine

November 2026. Music that brings people together and inspires hope: In October, the Sustrum-Moor Gospel Choir held a benefit concert at St. Clemens Catholic Church in Wesuwe, in the Emsland region, to raise funds for LandsAid. The proceeds will support humanitarian aid efforts in Ukraine. There, with Winter approaching, many people are once again facing the threat of power, heating, and water outages.

Gospel music that inspires

The church was packed, and the energy quickly spread: The audience was swept up by the gospel music and swayed along enthusiastically. The choir is known throughout the Emsland region for its rousing performances and its commitment to social causes.

Music for a good cause

Founded in 1999, the choir now consists of 33 singers who perform in four parts. Choir director Wilfried Hagemann accompanies the choir on the keyboard and has led it since its founding.

Charity concerts have been an integral part of the group’s identity from the very beginning. Every year, the choir organizes several concerts for social and humanitarian causes. In the past, it has supported, amongst others, earthquake victims in Haiti and children with cancer from the region.

Working together once again for people in need

The connection with LandsAid has existed for many years. The contact was established through Gaby Breuckmann, a member of the LandsAid supervisory board and former chairwoman of the board. Years ago, the choir had already supported the organization’s Haiti projects with a benefit concert. This year, it decided once again to sing for LandsAid—this time to benefit the people of Ukraine.

Making a difference through music

“When we put on concerts, we also want to do some good,” explains Wilfried Hagemann. “We’re actually doing relatively well here. We have a good life and possess many things that other people can’t take for granted. That’s why we want to use our music to support those who aren’t doing as well.”

This attitude shapes the choir’s commitment. Through its benefit concerts, the choir combines the joy of music with tangible help for people facing difficult life situations.

Help for the people of Ukraine

In her speech, Gaby Breuckmann briefed the audience on the current situation in Ukraine and the work of LandsAid. The approaching fifth winter of war is once again posing major challenges for many people. Attacks on energy infrastructure are jeopardizing the supply of electricity and heat. Older adults and those in need of care, as well as children and families, are particularly dependent on support. Among other things, medical aid and care supplies are needed.

Don't leave us alone

A message from the residents of a Ukrainian nursing home shows just how deep the concern is among many of those affected: “Don’t leave us alone.” These words moved us deeply. They underscore how important it is not to leave people alone in this difficult situation.

Thank you very much!

The concert in Wesuwe helps make this vital aid possible. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Sustrum-Moor Gospel Choir, Wilfried Hagemann, Gaby Breuckmann, and all concertgoers who are showing their support for the people of Ukraine.
