After the successes of the first two concert series, “SONGS OF HOPE” returns in April 2027 with a new tour – featuring new musical nuances and even greater emotional depth.
What began as a special concert idea has developed into an intense live experience over the past years, touching and inspiring both the audience and the artists. The extraordinarily positive response has encouraged Thomas Schwab to continue his heartfelt project.
At the center is a theme that could not be more current: hope.
“The reactions of our audience have moved us to continue on this path,” says Thomas Schwab. “Especially in a time when many people are searching for stability and confidence, we want to create a space with our music where one can pause and draw strength.”
“SONGS OF HOPE” is much more than a quiet concert evening. Alongside deeply touching moments full of emotion and intensity, a varied, lively evening unfolds that is as entertaining as it is moving – with a lot of closeness to the audience, spontaneous moments, and a special mix of lightness and depth. The audience laughs, becomes contemplative, and is often moved to tears.
In the well two-and-a-half-hour concert, a program of songs unfolds that deal with hope, courage, and humanity in very different ways. This includes, among others, poignant reinterpretations of Bernstein's “Somewhere,” “You Must Go Over Seven Bridges,” “Bridge over Troubled Water,” and “In This Moment” by Roger Cicero.
The program is complemented by soul and pop classics as well as personal compositions by Thomas Schwab, which continue the thread of the evening.
In an intimate atmosphere, more than a concert is created: a musical dialogue between the stage and the audience that touches, connects, and resonates long after. Selected texts – including those by Hanns Dieter Hüsch – set additional thematic accents.
“SONGS OF HOPE 2027” is therefore not an ordinary tour, but an invitation: to pause, to be touched, and to find new hope together.
