Dead Men's Poetry

The All Saints' Day concert has become a lovely tradition in recent years, so of course there will be another one in 2026. The concept remains the same: Many singers and musicians passed away far too soon in the past year. This concert serves as a musical tribute to them and keeps the memory of their musical legacy alive.

The singers performing on stage in 2026 will be: Kerstin Bauer, Sigrun Schumacher, Sascha Krebs, and Sascha Kleinophorst.

Hosted by Peter Kühn (SWR1 Hits & Stories).

This past year has once again taken many of the greatest musicians from us. But on this evening, we don’t want to be sad; instead, we want to bring the songs they left us back to life. Because the music lives on in all of us.

Great Capitol voices—great songs in new arrangements—a great evening!

Martin Preiser – Musical Director / Keyboards
