Die Hommage an Udo Jürgens - Das Konzert Alex Parker

In the organizer's words:

He is the most frequently booked and, according to many critics and fans, the best Udo Jürgens interpreter: Alex Parker. For over 30 years and more than 1,000 performances, most recently with "The Udo Jürgens Story", the 51-year-old has brought the "Udo Jürgens feeling" to the stage. Now Parker is launching a new Udo concert tour in 2027. Around 80 guest venues are on the tour schedule from January to May and October to November 2027. Parker will be accompanied by a guest musician who has worked with Udo Jürgens personally. Together, they want to bring the special moments of Udo Jürgens' live concerts to the stage, from sensitive to euphoric, refined with personal anecdotes - and thus keep the work and influence of the exceptional artist and world star alive. Further information, tickets and dates are now available at: www.das-udo-juergens-konzert.de.
Udo Jürgens was not a "typical" star or pop singer live - his concerts had something unique, timeless, almost intimate about them. He had the ability to make even performances in huge halls seem personal. Whether arena or concert hall - he spoke directly to the audience, told stories between the songs and created a closeness that is otherwise only known from smaller concerts. Songs such as "Griechischer Wein", "Ich weiß, was ich will" or "Ich war noch niemals in New York" were given an additional dynamic on stage because he varied the tempo, expression and dramaturgy. At the end, you were often left with the feeling that you hadn't just heard a series of hits, but had experienced an evening with attitude, personality and real musical substance.
Alex Parker and his guests want to remind us of this special feeling. Parker plays live on the piano and interprets evergreens such as "Merci Cherie", "Ein ehrenwertes Haus", "Aber bitte mit Sahne", "Mit 66 Jahren", "Griechischer Wein", "Ich war noch niemals in New York" as well as many other hits and lesser-known titles such as "Die Schwalben fliegen hoch" and "Glut und Eis". Between the songs, he tells of his encounters with Udo Jürgens - with humorous and moving anecdotes that give the audience completely new insights into the life of the unforgotten entertainer. He will be accompanied - musically and anecdotally - by genuine companions of the exceptional musician. Alternating performances are planned: The violinists Annette Maurer and Mona Seebohm. Both have accompanied Udo Jürgens on his tours. They will not only enrich the concerts musically, but also provide special moments with their own experiences and reports.
Guests can look forward to an evening full of memories, emotions and great music - a moving and personal tribute to one of the greatest entertainers of our time.
