Götz Alsmann & Band

Götz Alsmann & Band

The wisdom of proverbs and pop songs remain eternal truths... No wonder Götz Alsmann makes the night the centre of the evening on his new album and in his current programme. Or the evening as the highlight of the day? To this end, he draws on exquisite gems from the history of pop music, melancholic and humorous gems from 1910 to 1965 – and he does it differently to everyone else. It is not for nothing that the singer and pianist Götz Alsmann is regarded as the »King of German jazz schlager«.

Sarah Wegener | Götz Payer

According to Theodor Fontane, happiness lies in small things, which could also describe songs. Soprano Sarah Wegener explores this happiness in her Cologne concert. She performs songs like Richard Strauss's "Traum durch die Dämmerung," which questions where happiness lies. Wegener, known for her intense performances, joins pianist Götz Payer in this pursuit of happiness.

It goes without saying that The Concertgebouw and jazz & pop music make a perfect combination. The stages of both the Main Hall and the Recital Hall have borne witness to nearly the whole of jazz history. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.
