Gigs Held Within the Diakonissenhaus Church
Get ready to groove on Wednesday, June 4th, at the Diako Dresden! Two mind-blowing concerts await you. Andlet's be real, who doesn't love some good, old-fashioned singer-songwriter tunes? Gerhard Schoene, Karl die Große, and Sarah Lesch are bringing their unique takes on the genre to the stage.
Michael Junge, the director of nursing at Diakonissenkrankenhaus, rounded up these music heavyweights. He says, "Each of them interprets the singer-songwriter genre in a completely different way." So fasten your seatbelts as we're in for a diverse musical journey!
First up, at 4 pm, we have a family-friendly concert for the young and old alike. At 7 pm, it's time for adults to enjoy the melodies in peace. Both shows will take place at the Diakonissenhauskirche, located at Bautzner Straße 70.
Now let's dive into the star-studded lineup!
Gerhard SchoeneThe man himself is no stranger to the East German singer-songwriter scene. Post-1990, he has churned out more than 30 albums and several award-winning programs. His sound continues to resonate with the masses, selling out large venues like city halls. As a UNICEF ambassador and special ambassador of the Verbundnetz der Wärme initiative, he's always ready to lend a helping hand where it's needed most. Gerhard Schoene has picked up multiple accolades throughout his career, including the Prize of the German Record Critics and the GEMA award.
Karl die GroßeKarl die Große isn't actually a historical figure; it's the stage name of the multi-talented Wencke Wollny. With her distinctive voice and unique songwriting, she took the music world by storm with her recent album "What if no one laughs." Despite pandemic-related setbacks, she's raring to bring her electrifying performances to the stage once more. Wollny has also ventured into theater music and collaborations with DOTA and the children's music project "Under my bed."
Sarah LeschA familiar face in the new German singer-songwriter scene, Sarah Lesch has released five albums and has piled up a heap of awards, including the Troubadour Chanson Prize, the FM4 Protestsongcontest, the Prize of the Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung, and the Udo Lindenberg Hermann Hesse Panik Prize. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this rising star!
So, there you have it! Mark your calendars, folks. We've rounded up these three acts to make sure you have a fantastic concert experience. Oh, and remember to make a donation to support the Diako's projects. We're talking about helping patients in emergency situations and aiding the training of volunteer hospice helpers. Good deeds never sounded so sweet!
Prepare for an evening of captivating entertainment as Gerhard Schoene, Karl die Große, and Sarah Lesch bring their enchanting music to the Diako Dresden on June 4th. Their unique interpretations of the singer-songwriter genre promises a diverse musical journey for the audience.
