Constantine Wecker “The soundtrack of my life”
Konstantin Wecker , chansonnier - Wiener Konzerthaus
Program Info: Konstantin Wecker's new concert tour from October 2024 The soundtrack of my life A unique stage gala with film music and songs from over 45 years written by film composer Konstantin Wecker
This concert tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland is a real affair of the heart for Konstantin Wecker. On stage, the Munich musician, songwriter, poet and film composer presents the diverse and opulent sound of his great film music. With his stage program “The Soundtrack of My Life,” Wecker also pays tribute to famous actors and directors of the last 45 years. Because his compositions are part of German film history. To this day, very few people know how important the Munich musician is as a film composer. Konstantin Wecker (76) has shaped dozens of films, series and popular television films over the last few decades with his music, compositions and unmistakable melodies. Who can't whistle along to the theme music of the Munich cult series "Kir Royal" by Helmut Dietl about the gossip reporter Baby Schimmerlos or doesn't have the sound of "Schtonk", one of the most successful German cinema satires of all time, in their ears when they watch? remember the grotesqueness of the fake Hitler diaries? In the beginning there was a vision. The idea for a big gala evening with a selection of his film music and songs with an orchestra and lots of pictures. But the concert on July 4, 2023 in the large music arena at the Summer Tollwood Festival not only thrilled the audience and the many acting stars, directors and fellow musicians among the guests, from Mario Adorf, Friedrich von Thun to Reinhard Mey to Jo Baier . It was also an unforgettable experience for Konstantin Wecker and his team. And so the idea grew to make the program audible and visible to many people on a large live tour.
Wecker's work as a film composer includes many other cinema classics such as "Sisters or the Balance of Happiness", "The White Rose", "1945", "Peppermint Peace" or "Breathlessness", documentary films such as what is not legal can be legitimate , but also - in addition to "Kir Royal" - the title songs and film music from numerous television films such as "Liesl Karlstadt and Karl Valentin", "Appolonia", "Men kiss differently at 50" or series such as "Ärzte: Dr. Black and Dr. Martin."
At the concerts “The Soundtrack of My Life” (premiering on October 5, 2024 at the Circus Krone in Munich), the audience can look forward to a unique evening: with fantastic film music, great and opulent orchestral sounds and many alarm clock songs, pictures and stories by and about legends of cinema and television as well as prominent guests who have all written film history together.
