Is a song capable of being considered a transgression, according to Sabine Gramenz?
In the heart of Wiesbaden, Germany, on July 31, 2025, Sabine Gramenz and Malte Kühn graced the Luisenplatz with their captivating performance as part of the "Wiesbaden liest" cultural series. The free summer concert event showcased the duo's renditions of golden Schlager music, breathing new life into the genre and revealing the passion and complexities often hidden beneath its glittering facade [1][3].
The concert was a testament to Wiesbaden's commitment to enlivening public spaces with live music and community events. By presenting traditional Schlager songs in a fresh and emotionally rich way, the duo connected with audiences, bridging the gap between past and present [3][4].
The concert took place in the fountain area (Wasserpielen) on Luisenplatz, a central and popular location in Wiesbaden, making it easily accessible for locals and visitors alike [3][4]. This performance marked an exciting addition to Wiesbaden's cultural calendar, demonstrating the city's dedication to preserving and showcasing its rich musical heritage.
While the concert on July 31st celebrated the golden era of Schlager music, Sabine Gramenz and Malte Kühn have also announced another concert on October 28th. This event, titled "An Evening with Sabine Gramenz," will feature soft piano music and her captivating, penetrating voice. However, unlike the July concert, this concert will not be free and will not be part of the "Wiesbaden liest" series [2].
The duo is also known for scratching beneath the sentimental surface of songs, unrolling biographies, singing stories, and showing contradictions. They have previously donated the proceeds from a concert on April 8th to the Wiesbaden-Schierstein Kamenez-Podolsky e.V. partnership association [5]. This upcoming concert on October 28th will be a journey into the world of cabaret songs and chansons from the metropolises of Berlin and Vienna from the 1910s to the 1960s, promising a charming time-travel with attitude [6].
In addition to their performances, Sabine Gramenz and Malte Kühn will also be performing Schlager hits on July 31st at the water-light concert on Luisenplatz [7]. The duo's versatility and passion for music make them a beloved presence in the German music scene, and their concerts are not to be missed.
