"Love, Love, Love!". With the first notes of the Beatles anthem, the Hippie Chamber Orchestra ignites a gigantic "Love, Peace & Rock'n'Roll Rocket". With their musical virtuosity and versatility on guitars, ukulele, harmonica, washboard and a suitcase full of rattles and jingles, Ruth and Hans von Chelius and Julia von Miller bring the euphoric spirit of the 60s and 70s to life. An intoxicating, blissful and extremely humorous flower-power revisit that transports us to a more colorful and loving version of this world.
In the sound universe of the hippie chamber orchestra, the wild insatiability of the Stones, the Far East-inspired spirituality of the Beatles, Joni Mitchell's fine feminine wisdom and Bob Marley's impressive message of love and freedom become directly tangible. Bowie and the "Children of the Revolution" meet in a commune in the "Streets of San Francisco", Pink Floyd chill out to ukulele sounds on Hawaiian beaches. Intoxicated by free love, Johnny Cash burns out with Led Zeppelin's "Whole lotta Love" and melts into an oriental ecstasy in "Kashmir".
Ruth von Chelius (voc, uku, perc) was the creative head of the "String of Pearls" together with Julia von Miller. Ruth has opened for Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker, lent her voice to many anime hits and composed, sung and directed for the GOP Varietétheater.
Hans von Chelius (guit, voc) wanted to become John Lennon at the age of 10. He became a singer, performer, guitarist, cabaret artist and presenter. As a composer and producer, he has written rock operas and worked with greats such as Sasha, Xavier Naidoo, the GuanoApes, Michael Mittermeier and many more.
Julia von Miller (voc, perc), also one of the legendary "Pearls", is the winner of the Schwabing Art Prize, has been a presenter on the Blickpunkt Spot team at the Munich clubhouse for many years now, sings with the cult band "Los Poppos" and is the leading actress on stage at the Munich Hofspielhaus.
