Comedian Harmonists in Concert by Various, Déa 07 Aibr 2022, Ó (2021/2022), Seoltóir Patrick Francis Chestnut, Theater Duisburg, Duisburg, Germany

The fame of the Comedian Harmonists shone in the 1920s: the six-strong ensemble delighted audiences with a mixture of entertainment hits and harmonies and hits like "Veronika, der Lenz ist da" or "Wochenend und Sonnenschein". The seizure of power by the National Socialists in 1933 put the formation, half of which was Jewish, under pressure. All attempts to defy the reprisals failed. The Comedian Harmonists split up in 1935, but their music lives on to this day. Under the musical direction of Patrick Francis Chestnut, our soloist ensemble presents a moderated concert evening.
