The new concert tour by Konstantin Wecker from October 2024
The soundtrack of my life
A unique stage gala with film music & songs from over
45 years from the pen of film composer Konstantin Wecker
This concert tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland is a real affair of the heart for Konstantin Wecker. On stage, the Munich musician, songwriter, poet and film composer presents the diverse and opulent sound of his great film scores.
With his stage program The Soundtrack of My Life, Wecker also pays tribute to famous actors and directors of the last 45 years. Because his compositions are part of German film history.
To this day, very few people know how important the Munich musician is as a film composer.
Konstantin Wecker (76) has left his mark on dozens of feature films, series and popular TV films over the last few decades with his music, compositions and unmistakable melodies. Who can't whistle along to the theme music of Helmut Dietl's Munich cult series Kir Royal about the gossip reporter Baby Schimmerlos or has the sound of Schtonk, one of the most successful German movie satires of all time, in their ears when they remember the grotesque about the forged Hitler diaries?
It all started with a vision. The idea for a big gala evening with a selection of his film music and songs with orchestra and lots of pictures. But the concert on July 4, 2023 in the large music arena at the summer Tollwood Festival not only delighted the audience and the many acting stars, directors and fellow musicians among the guests, from Mario Adorf and Friedrich von Thun to Reinhard Mey and Jo Baier. It was also an unforgettable experience for Konstantin Wecker and his team. And so the idea grew to make the program audible and visible to many people on a major live tour.
Wecker's work as a film composer includes many other cinema classics such as Schwestern oder die Balance des Glücks, Die Weiße Rose, 1945, Peppermint Frieden or Atemnot, documentary cinema films such as es kann legitim sein, was nicht legal ist, but also - in addition to Kir Royal - the title songs and film music for numerous television films such as Liesl Karlstadt and Karl Valentin, Appolonia,
Mit 50 küssen Männer anders or series such as Ärzte: Dr. Schwarz and Dr. Martin. The audience can look forward to a unique evening at the concerts Der Soundtrack meines Lebens (premiere is on October 5, 2024 at Circus Krone in Munich): with fantastic film music, great and opulent orchestral sounds and many alarm clock songs, pictures and stories from and about legends of cinema and television films as well as prominent guests who have all made film history together.
