Klaus Hoffmann will celebrate his 75th birthday this year. More than a good reason to honour him with a special performance. The title of his latest album is as simple as it is moving: Ich bin, 'I am'. Klaus Hoffmann's 'being' has been much written and wondered about. A look at his decades of work shows above all one thing: deep within himself, despite all musical development and all artistic play, and despite the age he has now reached, he has always stayed in touch with his inner child. He was and remains a jester, the author, singer and maker of his songs. As his new album impressively illustrates, he has put together a choice band that translates his songs into fascinating sounds and wonderful arrangements. Klaus Hoffmann's ensemble is made up of brilliant instrumentalists. This band will accompany the singer, poet and composer to his anniversary performance at Neuhardenberg and will make his old and his new creations, the great ballads and the many poetic songs float in rich tones with a nuanced range of sounds.
