About event
ADDITIONAL CONCERT due to great demand!
The German songwriter and poet Bettina Wegner, known to a wide audience for the song "Sind so kleine Hands", numerous LPs and CDs, books with poems and song lyrics, went into artistic retirement in 2007. Wegner withdrew from the concert stage, which she had shared with Joan Baez, Konstantin Wecker, Angelo Branduardi and many other artists. Basically. However, her voice is still strong, and when Karsten Troyke asks her to spend an evening together, she appears every now and then, always accompanied by the guitarist El Alemán (aka Jens-Peter Kruse).
In their program, the songwriter and the singer-actor revive evidence of a song culture that has become rare. Not “being cool”, but showing off, not “wanting to have fun” as an expression of resignation, but open laughter and questions in songs.
Bettina Wegner, with Berlin charm (“Ick try it and just do it”) and with the sensitivity for which she stands, allows the various facets of melancholy to touch a latent, noticeable aggressiveness. The angry crescendo, heightened by strong vocal vibrato, is broken by relaxed and even ironic moderation, which is based on a natural love for humanity.
@KarstenTroyke knows how to strike a completely different, differentiated tone; even with oppressive subject matter, he still manages to combine the cynical with the comic, the horrific with the grotesque. His voice seems less "beautiful", but no less haunting and has an astonishing ability to change.
Both are committed to a style of singing that initially presents beautiful songs, including folk songs, but is forced by the political circumstances to produce political songs.
