Michael von der Heide | Kulturkarussell Rössli Stäfa

Description

For organizational reasons, the concert scheduled for November 13 has been postponed to January 15, 2027. Already purchased tickets remain valid. Michael von der Heide shares with Hildegard Knef, this unforgettable singer, chanson lyricist, actress, and author, the witty, sharp mind and the linguistic and quick-wittedness. Both know what they sing and sing what they know. No wonder Michael von der Heide has long loved Knef's brilliant, biting lyrics and has interpreted her songs repeatedly since the beginning of his career. On December 28, 2025, Hildegard Knef would have turned 100 years old. To celebrate this anniversary, Michael von der Heide will dedicate his new concert program "von der Heide singt Knef" to the only German-speaking chanson singer of world-class. Aiming to continue bringing Hildegard Knef's timeless songs to the people on his tour. Hildegard Knef's double-edged texts considered life wisely, honestly, laconic, (self-)ironically, unsentimental, and despite all tragedy and melancholy, life-affirming, humorous, and without a finger-pointing attitude. The entire rollercoaster of life, wrapped in feather-light songs with unforgettable lines like "Happiness only knows minutes – the rest is waiting room." The program will include both famous Knef songs like "Tapetenwechsel" and "Für Mich Soll’s Rote Rosen Regnen" as well as jazzy treasures written for Knef by the French author and musician Boris Vian. Additionally, Michael von der Heide will dramaturgically and biographically incorporate a few of his own songs into the program. He is accompanied by his virtuoso, well-rehearsed band (Piano: David Cogliatti, Guitar: Martin Buess, Bass: André Pousaz, Drums: Beni Bürgin). "von der Heide singt Knef" is both a humorous and profound concert evening, where the audience will experience not only gold but also red roses raining down. Line-up: Michael von der Heide, vocals; André Pousaz, bass; Martin Büess, guitar; David Cogliatti, keyboards; Beni Bürgin, drums. www.michaelvonderheide.com This event is seated.
