"The Journey" – fifty years of enchanted music | Concerts 2027 What a story! For nearly half a century, Andreas Vollenweider has captivated millions of people around the world with his unique music. And to this day, audiences continue to gather from every corner of the globe to share the experience of his concerts. So what is the secret behind music that appears to transcend time? When the journey began in the mid-1970s, the public’s enthusiastic response was explained as a reflection of the spirit of the times. Yet over the following 50 years, that spirit has constantly changed — and still this music has endured, passed on from one generation to the next. It must clearly touch something in many people that reaches far deeper than any zeitgeist or passing trend. Back then, The New York Times sensed in Vollenweider’s music a “profoundly positive otherworldliness” — and perhaps this is exactly where the secret of its enduring success lies. Vollenweider says: “Especially in times when we are all confronted to a great extent with threatening developments in the world, yet without truly being able to take action ourselves, we seem to have a strong need for moments in which we can restore and strengthen our deep-rooted confidence in life. In that respect, music has always been my own survival strategy too.” For the 73-year-old Vollenweider, the 2027 tour, “The Journey – die Reise,” is also a deeply grateful revisiting of the stages of his extraordinary adventure. With their remarkable versatility and virtuosity, these five musicians can create the rich sound of a full orchestra. With its powerful sound, Andreas Vollenweider’s special harp can fill even the largest halls with ease — ultra-deep basses, hypnotic grooves, crystal clarity, melodic beauty, and a deeply moving presence. It is within these soundscapes that his four musical companions move and take flight The complementary force comes from Walter Keiser, whose drumming has provided the heartbeat of this music from the very beginning; Daniel Küffer, likewise the band’s multi-instrumentalist for almost 30 years, with a virtuoso focus on a wide variety of wind instruments; Isabel Gehweiler, whose cello playing has for many years brought emotional warmth, depth and fullness to the music; and Oliver Keller, who expands Vollenweider’s world of sound with a wide array of string instruments, ranging from delicate filigree to powerful, rock-infused energy. The many people behind the scenes — in organisation, sound, and technical production — have likewise been part of the “Friends”, most of them from the earliest days. Together, they create something that goes far beyond a concert ensemble: a sense of family that, together with the audiences creates the Vollenweider experience. What can audiences expect from the 2027 tour? Andreas and his companions will open the gate to their musical treasure trove, sharing the most legendary gems from 50 years of this extraordinary sonic universe.

Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Part 35 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 35: Memories of ✨“Lunar Pond“ | KKL Lucerne, Switzerland, 2023✨ „The song ‚Lunar Pond‘ has accompanied us throughout all these years on our adventurous journey with this music. It was inspired by the storytelling power of classical Chinese music. The moon, too, plays a recurring role in these stories, reflecting itself in the depths of a pond and inviting us to pause and linger. It reveals how, alongside their remarkable diligence, the Chinese people also possess a deeply romantic spirit.“ – Andreas

Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Part 34 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 34: Memories of ✨"Night Fire Dance" | Montreux Jazz Festival, 2011✨ "Our music is intentionally kept very simple, because this has the effect that we must constantly breathe new life into it — otherwise it becomes boring for us and for you. We always have to surprise each other. This piece is another example of how we take an existing song, one we may have played hundreds of times, and bring it into a free creative space where anything is possible again. This way, something new always emerges; the songs are never played the same way twice. We call this thematic improvisation. There is a red thread we can use — or not…" – Andreas
