Fortuna Ehrenfeld: Solo am Klavier

In the organizer's words:

"Once the left ventricle poured out over the keyboard and the right one thrown furiously behind it" Martin Bechler

Sold-out tours and a jubilant press. In just a few years, Martin Bechler, head and singer of the Cologne-based indie band Fortuna Ehrenfeld, has taken his project from a moderately attended pub concert to a sold-out Cologne Philharmonie.

With his idiosyncratic poetry and unpredictable sound cosmos, he has created a completely independent genre. In rare solo concerts, Bechler takes us back to his study at his piano, where he creates the songs for Fortuna before putting them through the wolf with his playful band. In Solo am Klavier, quiet, deep spaces open up - lyrics and his unmistakable voice come to the fore.

In 2024, he was awarded the German Cabaret Prize for his "intoxicating melodies and musical resistance".
