Simon & Garfunkel - Tribute meets Classic - Graceland Duo with String Quartet and Band

With songs like "The Sound of Silence" and "Cecilia", Simon & Garfunkel wrote poetic anthems for an entire generation. "Mrs. Robinson" became a worldwide hit in 1969 through the American film "The Graduate". In 1968, the duo penned "The Boxer" - a deeply emotional tribute to the resilient survivor. Two years later, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" entered music history as a message of hope, its beauty lying precisely in its simplicity.

For several years now, the Graceland duo has been tracing the musical spirit of their idols with dedication, touring Germany with their programme "A Tribute to Simon & Garfunkel" to great acclaim. Thomas Wacker (as Paul Simon) and Thorsten Gary (as Art Garfunkel) quickly realised that Simon & Garfunkel's music is perfectly suited to being paired with the distinctive sound of a classical string ensemble.

The interplay of two voices and two guitars with the classical instruments gives the songs a richness and expressiveness all their own. The evening promises an emotional journey through the 60s and 70s, with musical variety that is rare on a single stage. The duo moves from tender ballads to moments that genuinely rock the audience. www.graceland-online.de
