Finally! The "Jungle king of hearts" back on tour! THE VOLGA SONG - Peter Orloff & the Schwarzmeer Kosaken are coming
Finally, the time has come again! After the most successful year in its history, the Schwarzmeer Kosaken Chor had the longest concert break in its history following the final concert on March 8th of this year. But now, the Schwarzmeer Kosaken Chor and its audience are finally continuing! And in intensive collaboration with local forces and the organizer's Corona officer, it is also intended to be a carefree concert experience. Medicine for the soul and a feast for the ears!
An absolute highlight is the festive concert of the famous Schwarzmeer Kosaken-Chores under the musical direction and personal participation of Peter Orloff, who once, as the youngest singer of all Cossack choirs in the world - back then, incidentally, together with Ivan Rebroff - founded his legendary career in the Schwarzmeer Kosaken-Chor and is now celebrating his 60th stage anniversary.
From the little boy with the already sensational voice, the hit legend Peter Orloff emerged, the "King of the charts" with 19 of his own chart entries and numerous Golden Records - as a singer for "Ein Mädchen für immer" and the "Königin der Nacht", as a lyricist for Bernd Clüver's "Junge mit der Mundharmonika" and as a composer for “Du”, Peter Maffay’s biggest hit to date, which Helene Fischer now also sings, as well as Andrea Berg and the Amigos performing the million-hit "Der kleine Prinz" composed and penned by Peter Orloff. Apart from Peter Maffay and Bernd Clüver, he also produced Heino, Freddy Quinn, and Julio Iglesias. In the history of the ZDF-Hitparade, he has the second-best re-entry rate of all time among the performers with the most appearances after Chris Roberts.
The whole of Germany was captivated when Peter Orloff reached the final of the jungle camp in 2019 and became the Jungle Prince and audience favorite. His fearless balancing act at dizzying heights and his affectionate handling of snakes and crocodiles remain unforgettable. The press headlines: "Better than Crocodile Dundee" and "Chuck Norris of the jungle", and Germany's largest daily newspaper hails Peter Orloff as the "Jungle king of hearts". Upon his return, his top hit from 1971 “Ein Mädchen für immer” was already at number 7 in the German iTunes chart in its 2019 version. He donates a school for Native American children in Argentina from his fee - his second school for the “Fly & Help” foundation, of which he is a board member and ambassador. Thanks to "RTL - Wir helfen Kindern", there are already five schools!
On June 19, 2019, his CD "Teure Heimat" with the Schwarzmeer Kosaken Chor stormed to number 2 in the official German sales charts / folk music behind Santiano and ahead of Andreas Gabalier - 52 years after his first top placement in the sales charts, also at number 2, back then behind Peter Alexander and ahead of The Beatles! The album is among the top 20 in the year-end evaluation! On December 4th, he even made it to the absolute top class, the Top 100 Album Charts, multiple times in 2019 and 2020. He is the most googled man of the year! And the oldest "Ninja Warrior" participant of all time worldwide! On January 12, 2020, he received two coveted SMAGO Awards, the German “Schlager-Oscar”, one for the “Schlager Titan” and one for the chart topper and “Jungle king of hearts”. At 75, Peter Orloff is once again at a peak in his career. Therefore, one of his personal favorite songs is also his life motto: "Forever Young"!
Impressive press reviews from the past to present document the exceptional position that Peter Orloff, who hails from a famous Russian noble family, holds as a soloist in his ensemble. Enthusiastic TV appearances before a vast audience and numerous Golden Records and CDs underline the reputation of the Schwarzmeer Kosaken-Chor as an outstanding Cossack ensemble of our time. Audiences can look forward to an equally fascinating and moving concert event, which the press celebrates as "Orloff's miracle choir" with "voices as beautiful and large as Russia".
Under the leadership of Peter Orloff, highly decorated Ukrainian and Russian singers of absolute world-class perform in heartfelt harmony - breathtaking tenors, deep basses, and as a special highlight, a rare male soprano from the Kiev Opera. Vocal wonders or miraculous voices - both are true! The ensemble also includes three of the world's best Russian instrumental virtuosos. They accompanied Ivan Rebroff until his death and are now, in a way, his musical legacy to his former companion and friend Peter Orloff. Thanks to its almost unique lineup, the Schwarzmeer Kosaken-Chor is able to perform a truly extraordinary program with works such as the "Prisoner's Chorus", "Swan Lake", "Leise flehen meine Lieder" or - the signature solo of all great tenors - "Nessun dorma".
The centerpiece of the concert is naturally the most beautiful treasures from the rich repertoire of Russian and Ukrainian music literature, such as the famous "Evening Bells", "The twelve robbers", "Ich bete an die Macht der Liebe", "Stenka Rasin", "The lonely little bell", "Kalinka", and by popular demand, "The Volga Song".
It is a musical journey from Moscow to Lake Baikal, from Kiev to St. Petersburg with romances, stories, and ballads of overwhelming expressiveness, deep melancholy, and exuberant temperament. Heroic deeds, glory, and greatness of past days shine brightly anew, evoking memories and longings - a true fireworks of emotions.
Peter Orloff already promises the audience an unforgettable concert evening today. Or, as viewers comment, a "concert with goosebumps guaranteed" and a "musical natural phenomenon."
There are many Cossack choirs - but only one Schwarzmeer Kosaken-Chor!
THE VOLGA SONG - Total emotional!
Doors open: 3:00 PM
