ULRICH TUKUR & DIE RHYTHMUS BOYS - Es leuchten die Sterne - Tour 2024
"The stars are shining in the sky for you, they gleam and glow in the firmament... what would the universe be without them?" And what would life be without the weightless music of "Ulrich Tukur & die Rhythmus Boys", who have understood for almost a human lifetime how to transform darkness into light, distress into confidence, and sadness into high spirits? The charming actor Ulrich Tukur is happy to provide his musical answer to this question on Saturday, December 13, 2024, starting at 8:00 PM at St. Johannis Church, Würzburg.
"Glowing Stars" swings with jazz, swing, and chanson classics mainly from the 1930s. To start off, "the oldest boy band in the world" leisurely dances into the evening. "The day has brought you troubles and worries, the night wants to bring joy," sings Tukur with fun and lightness the title song of the 1938 film of the same name, whose modest instrumentation seems to mirror the clear world of his time - despite all current and looming crises.
Ulrich Tukur is described as a "thoroughly old-fashioned spirit" in the press release for the album. This is evident in his main occupation as an actor, characterized by conservative roles, such as the Baron in Michael Haneke's "The White Ribbon" or the Lieutenant Colonel in the Oscar-winning "The Lives of Others", who prefer positions of power. Even in his quite experimental "Tatort" episodes, which regularly draw the wrath of the crime republic and the Bild-Zeitung ("Smooth 6 for this 'Tatort'!"), he plays with his composed charisma. Tukur also shows his value-conservatism and tradition-consciousness alongside his musical partners Kalle Mews, Ulrich Mayer, and Günter Märtens. "We don't cheat, we sing and even play ourselves. It's all simple and honest," he said.
