Casanova Society Orchestra: Töwerland Concerts
18.06.2024 - 29.09.2024
Casanova Society Orchestra - The dance orchestra from the Hotel Adlon
The golden 20s - with tailcoat, charm and top hat
Musical revue from Berlin
The twenties are called golden. They stand for a time when everything was already there: mass media, dancing fun, catchy tunes, financial crisis (in that order) - everything like today, only better and:
The best light music of all time came from the pens of Grothe, Holländer and the Kollos on this side of the pond and Gershwin and Whiteman on the other side.
And Andreas Holzmann and the CASANOVA SOCIETY ORCHESTRA are bringing it back. With everything that made the music golden back then: Versatile arrangements, virtuoso musical long-distance journeys and lyrics ranging from comic to melancholy.
What were the twenties? What are they for us today?
Answers to these questions lie between the lines of songs such as "Veronika, der Lenz ist da", "Mein kleiner grüner Kaktus" or "Puttin on the Ritz". Or the interpreters of these evergreens make their very own rhyme in the here and now:
While Andreas Holzmann as the charming boss not only has his hat on, but also his tails, Sonja Firker shines on the violin. As a modern woman, however, she has completely different views on conquering and being conquered than he does. The fact that she also loves to sing and that he, of all people, can play the violin, raises completely different questions among his colleagues later on, such as who is actually playing the first violin here. Speaking of colleagues: The CASANOVA SOCIETY ORCHESTRA delights with tango, paso doble, rumba, foxtrot and waltz in arrangements perfectly tailored to the instrumentation and spectacular instrument changes in the style of the Weintraub Syncopaters. The consistently excellent musicians can and want to do far more than just accompany, so the CASANOVA SOCIETY ORCHESTRA presents many other ingenious surprises with a yodelling vocal trio and a Comedian Harmonists interlude.
