October 17, 2023 Michael Friedman @ Konzerthaus Berlin!
I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be heading a stellar 4-piece band from Vancouver to Berlin, Germany where we’ll be performing at the historic Konzerthaus Berlin on October 17, 2023. Ed Henderson (guitars), Kerry Galloway (bass), Buff Allen (drums) and myself on vocals and guitars will be performing “Und wir schweben davon - SONGS OF HOPE” - a World Premiere program of my songs in 3 languages. And if that wasn’t enough of a tickled fancy, I can tell you that there will be another 250 singers and musicians with us on that hallowed stage: our hosts - the Berliner Konzert Choir, Primaner Youth Choir of the Händel Gymnasium, Händel Children’s Choir, Lion’s Club Children’s Choir and the 55 piece Berliner Konzert Orchestra and all under the baton of Maestro Jan Olberg.
An Tagen wie diesen On Days Like This
An Tagen wie diesen On days like this
Fällt kein einziger Schuß Not a single shot is fired
Harft der wind durch die Wiesen The wind harps through the meadows
Geh’n Verliebte zum Fluß Lovers go to the river
An Tagen wie heute On days like today
Tanzt der Rauch überm Dach The smoke dances above the rooftop
Feinde wechseln die Seite Enemies switch sides
Kinder werden gemacht Babies are made
An genau solchen Tagen On days exactly like these
Ist die Welt ein Ballon The world is a balloon
Am seidenen Faden On a silk thread
Und wir schweben davon And we float away
Und wir schweben davon And we float away
Und wir schweben davon And we float away
