First pics: Vienna Philharmonic opens home for refugees
mainThe disused inn bought by the orchestra to give a home to refugees from Syria and elsewhere has been declared open.
The first family moved in this week.
Members of the orchestra welcomed them with an informal jam session.
The Vienna Philharmonic will continue to give benefit concerts to maintain the house and support other fugitives from was and injustice.
Applause, please.

The Philharmonic House for Asylum Seekers in St. Aegyd holds three apartments as well as a large community meeting room where the local population is invited to seek contact with the families. The care of the families will be in the hands of the refugee service of the Diakonie.
An example to be followed.
(Now we have to wait for the comments with complaints about the number of women and nazis among the refugees.)
Refugees? You mean immigrants?
He does. True ‘refugees’ do not pass illegally through numerous safe countries. The term is ‘illegal economic migrant’.
Bravo. And you don’t have to be a Philadelphia lawyer to work that one out!!
Who is going to protect each nation from the naive gulls who just don’t get any of this stuff?
You mean nazis among the VPO members?
No, I’m intrigued about how the benchmark for ‘refugees’ has now been expanded from ‘wars’ to include ‘injustice’. That leaves the way open for about half the world.
Yes, kudos VPO!
How about mentioning this one…
Burning down their “free” shelter because they didn’t get breakfast?!?!?!
Yeah!
Play them some more Mozart before they decapitate you!

As above
Unfortunately the other 278 have to suffer for the criminal behaviour of the two who did this and part of their suffering is to be lumped together with them as if equally responsible. If I live in the same street as a murderer, that does not mean I’m a murderer. Let’s have more sense, more humanity and less exaggeration and hate.
I think these two felons are the least of the problems Europe will be having as time goes on – all of them cultural, economic and social.
There was nothing hateful about my comment! I applaud the fact someone is playing Mozart for people who are taught that playing and listening to music is sinful (you can check that one in a previous post from this blog’s author).
Here’s some more reading for you…
