Ike Moriz Performs Charity Concert at Hamburg’s St Michaelis Church for Plan International

On 5 August 2022, singer-songwriter Ike Moriz performed a very special charity concert at one of Germany’s most iconic landmarks — St Michaelis Church in Hamburg, affectionately known as “Der Michel.” 

The concert was presented in support of Plan International Germany, helping to raise awareness and funds for the organisation’s vital work advocating for children’s rights and the empowerment of girls worldwide.

A Landmark Venue with a Powerful Message

St Michaelis Church is not only a symbol of Hamburg’s skyline, but also a place deeply connected to culture, history and community. Performing beneath its majestic baroque interior, Ike Moriz brought together music, meaning and purpose in a setting that amplified the emotional impact of the evening.

The concert formed part of Plan International’s initiative “Love Swings for the Rights of Girls,” which highlights global inequalities faced by girls — including access to education, protection from violence and the right to self-determination. Through music, the evening created a space for reflection, solidarity and hope.

Music That Connected Heart and Cause

Ike Moriz curated a setlist that blended swing, jazz standards, originals and heartfelt classics, creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere perfectly suited to both the sacred space and the charitable mission of the night.

According to setlist.fm, the performance included favourites such as:

• Fly Me to the Moon
• Sway
• My Baby Just Cares for Me
• Hello, Dolly!
• Cheek to Cheek
• Almost Like Being in Love
• What a Difference a Day Makes

Interwoven with these classics were Ike’s own hit songs, showcasing his songwriting depth and stylistic range while maintaining a tone of optimism and unity throughout the concert.

The music resonated powerfully with the audience, many of whom attended specifically to support Plan International’s work — transforming the evening into far more than a concert, but rather a shared statement of compassion and global responsibility.

Supporting Plan International’s Global Mission

Plan International is one of the world’s leading independent development and humanitarian organisations, active in more than 75 countries. Their work focuses on advancing children’s rights and equality for girls, addressing issues such as education, health care, protection, skills development and humanitarian response.

By lending his voice and platform to this cause, Ike Moriz joined a long tradition of artists using music to drive social awareness and change. The St Michaelis concert helped shine a spotlight on Plan International’s mission, reminding audiences that cultural events can be powerful tools for advocacy and impact.

A Career Defined by Meaningful Performance

Throughout his career, Ike Moriz has been praised for his emotional authenticity, vocal versatility and commitment to high-quality live performance, as reflected in numerous international reviews over the years. His ability to move seamlessly between entertainment and purpose was on full display at St Michaelis — a performance that aligned artistic excellence with humanitarian values.

The 2022 charity concert at Der Michel remains a standout moment, underscoring Ike Moriz’s belief that music can unite people across borders, beliefs and backgrounds — and that it can help give voice to those who need it most.
