50 years of stage work as an actor and singer - Chansonier
Klaus Hoffmann will release his 50th album "Flügel" on November 17th, 2023 and will go on a tour of Germany with his band.
He will be accompanied musically by his fabulous four-person band: Hawo Bleich on piano and keyboard, Michael Brandt on acoustic guitar and electric guitar, Peter Keiser on bass and Walter Keiser on drums and percussion.
On his album "Flügel", Klaus Hoffmann sounds fresher than ever and yet remains true to himself. The Berlin songwriter and singer has composed and written 14 new songs for it. He proves himself once again to be a great storyteller and subtle observer of our increasingly disturbing present. And every single song is arranged so precisely and brilliantly that one can only say: Be careful, it's addictive!
The opening song "This is how it starts" immerses you in a carefully arranged, finely interwoven dramaturgy of songs. A cosmos of the most varied emotions opens up, from exhilarating melancholy to grief and pain to touching happiness and great love, dressed in a mix of chanson, jazz, Latin and pop, which knows how to surprise with ever new nuances. You always seem to hear German heaviness of the soul and the shimmering melancholy of Irish folklore, but also Mediterranean lightness and French charm.
Love shines through in all of his songs, Klaus Hoffmann is a great philanthropist, a humanist in the truest sense. "No matter what happens to us in life, only love can save us all, because it gives us support and confidence." Just like the songs on this new album with their heart language full of poetry. "Next summer we'll see each other again," the last song on the CD, is a homage to friendship and meeting friends, an exhilarating look into the future. And in addition to the positive and encouraging power of this artist, it shows his talent for constantly recreating language and music.

Berliner Philharmonie
The Berliner Philharmonie is a concert hall in Berlin, Germany. Home to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the building is acclaimed for both its acoustics and its architecture.
The Philharmonie lies on the south edge of the city's Tiergarten and just west of the former Berlin Wall, an area that for decades suffered from isolation and drabness but that today offers ideal centrality, greenness, and accessibility. Its cross street and postal address is Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße, named for the orchestra's longest-serving principal conductor. The neighborhood, often dubbed the Kulturforum, can be reached on foot from the Potsdamer Platz station.
Actually a two-venue facility with connecting lobby, the Philharmonie comprises a Großer Saal of 2,440 seats for orchestral concerts and a chamber-music hall, the Kammermusiksaal, of 1,180 seats. Though conceived together, the smaller venue was added only in the 1980s.
