This weekly cello concert is a must see in Siem Reap. The concert is well performed but the short lecture and cause, for which small donations are appreciated, is worth going miles to hear.

An impassioned talk from an eminent doctor and philanthropist interspersed with snippets of Bach's Cello Concertos will not be to everyone's liking and many especially younger members of the audience were bored. I however was deeply moved and gained valued knowledge about Cambodia, it's history and current health situation.

Apart from his outstanding ability on the Cello, Dr Beat was very clever at pulling at your heart strings. What an outstanding citizen, who has achieved an absolutely incredible service to humanity. This was a night I will never forget. Surely there must be a Nobel prize for this man for what he has done in Cambodia.

Dr Beat Richner has been doing very good job helping Cambodian kids that they are in shock by shortages of medications, vaccinations and poor health care center from their community. Concert and his effort is far the best and your contribution to help this hospital keep moving is highly recommended and A Must Visit.

The point of the concert is to support fund raising for the Kantha Bopha Children's Hospitals. Beat Richner performs with his cello and provides background, history and a compelling story in order to engage the audience in support for funding for the critical activities undertaken by the hospitals bringing vital health care for Cambodian children. It is a critical programme... More

The cello performance by Dr Beat is short but brilliant. Music is expressive and emotional, like painting with different colors... The accompanying film about children hospital is interesting but too long. Donations are expected. On my 2nd visit (May-4 2013) there was no cello performance, only the film (I suppose it was an exception).

Please take the time and give Blood and or a Donation. Dr. Beat is an outstanding Human, what he does for the Children and Mothers is outstanding. A very passionate Person, who dedicated his life to give everything and fulfil his dream to help all Children in Cambodia. Nothing short for a Nobel Price.
