The Song of the Outlander

In the organizer's words:

The fascinating world of the Vikings and Celts

Join Welsh musicians Lauren Francis and Franz Garlik on a magical journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Norway, Scotland and Wales. Inspired by the sounds of the Netflix series Outlander, Vikings and The Last Kingdom, the musicians will whisk you away to a mystical world full of Celtic legends, Nordic melodies and visual magic. An unforgettable experience for all the senses.

Interplay of music and video

With a deep love for the music from the Netflix series Outlander, Vikings and The Last Kingdom, the artists start with you at the breathtaking Norwegian fjords, where the spirits of Ragnar and Lagertha seem to linger. Just like the first Vikings, we then land in England on Holy Island, at Uhtred's beloved Bebbanburg. We travel back in time to Scotland, Ireland and Wales to the filming locations of Outlander and the source of fascinating Celtic legends.

With these ancient Celtic melodies, modern Nordic pop songs and specially designed artistic projections, Lauren Francis draws back the curtain on a mystical world. In the languages of her ancestors and an enchanting voice, the Welshman sings and tells stories that have captured these epochal times. Franz Garlik's magical soundscape creates a visual and acoustic experience that will float through your mind for a long time to come.

Award-winning artists

Among many other awards, the two received the prize for "Voice of the Year" in Eastern Switzerland. On their extensive tours, mainly through German-speaking countries, the two of them delight large audiences.

Lauren Francis, the award-winning and much-loved singer, is appreciated for her Celtic as well as her classical voice. She has sung in many European theaters, including the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and the Welsh National Opera. She has shone as La Traviata on Germany's major open-air stages, but has also been a guest on "Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel" and has been successful in the charts several times.

Franz Garlik, with his exceptional rock tenor voice, has sung many roles in musicals such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Les Miserables. Engaged at the Gärtnerplatztheater and the Landestheater Innsbruck, among others, he was in demand for his inimitable high notes and his versatility. Thanks to his distinctive musical knowledge, he not only plays numerous instruments such as trumpet and keys, but also takes on the musical direction for major musical theater productions such as the Clingenburg Festival.
