Stephan Krawczyk - "Zwar leben wir jetzt"

Stephan Krawczyk - "Zwar leben wir jetzt" | Concert at the music studio Ohrpheo Berlin on 4.3.2023

Stephan Krawczyk - songs, texts, soliloquies

Songs and literature are the means of expression of this artist, who has been on stage for four decades and has already experienced a lot that goes beyond the everyday. Stylistically diverse, chansonesque, even South American pulsating, with his not ingratiating, but all the more insistently gentle voice, Krawczyk fans out his song world reflectively and poetically, very individual, sympathetically peculiar.

Admission: 15 € | 10 €
