Music calms, lifts the spirits, alleviates anxiety, and even reduces the perception of pain. This was clearly demonstrated once again at the West German Proton Therapy Center (WPE) in Essen.

With the help of musicians from the region, we shortened the waiting time for young cancer patients and their families with the project “Be Strong With Music” through small participatory concerts, thus providing a little distraction in the often difficult (clinical) everyday life.
