This concert is part of a charity event for the international refugee relief organization Refugees International. During the broadcast, a donation link for Refugees International will be posted in the chat window. George Winston stated that he is holding this event for free to encourage more attention and participation for refugees.

George Winston calls himself a "naturalist pianist" and has provided the public with peace and relaxation. He has continued his active career while battling illnesses such as thyroid cancer, skin cancer, and myelodysplastic syndrome.

The public refers to Winston as a "healing musician." Winston has donated album proceeds to victims of the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina victims, cancer research organizations, and has held charity concerts for socially vulnerable groups and patients. During his visit to Korea in 1998, he donated his entire appearance fee to a "fund for the unemployed" to help Korea, which was struggling due to the IMF crisis.
