GISBERT ZU KNYPHAUSEN & KAI SCHUMACHER
Let crazy dogs howl: Gisbert sings Schubert
5. April 2026
Konzerthaus Berlin
Admission: 7:00 p.m.
Start: 8:00 p.m.

Franz Schubert was the great singer/songwriter of the 19th century. He did not write for elegant concert halls, but for small, private circles. Many of the themes that Schubert touches on in his late song cycles are entirely of today: the fear of the homeless, the longing for warmth and humanity, the resistance to the rigid norms of the establishment.
When Gisbert zu Knyphausen places Schubert's songs next to his own, the parallels become immediately audible: there is a deep melancholy that connects both sound worlds, a beauty that comes directly from the pain. But there is also a hunger for life, for friendship and love, for intoxication and partying. When Gisbert sings about the “tumult of the night,” then we are in the middle of the romantic world of experience.
Kai Schumacher is a pianist, composer, wild child of classical music. Together with Knyphausen, a very special sound is created: songs from Schubert's “Winterreise” and “Schwanengesang” meet songs by the successful singer/songwriter in new chamber music arrangements. Initially started as a pure live project in cooperation with the Reeperbahn Festival Hamburg and the Duisburg Philharmonic,
the premiere concerts, broadcast by ARTE, among others, became a real frenzy, so that a joint album seemed inevitable, as did a tour. Kai Schumacher on the piano, Gisbert zu Knyphausen on the acoustic guitar and microphone and Franz Schuber in the hearts - at the end of this special evening you no longer really know which piece was actually by whom.
