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 those who keep going against the odds. Two years later, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" entered music history as a message of hope, its beauty lying in its simplicity.

For several years now, the Graceland duo has been tracing the musical spirit of their idols with dedication, touring with the 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 pairing 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 rich, expressive quality that stands apart from a standard tribute show. Audiences can expect an evening full of emotion - a homage to the 60s and 70s, with a musical range rarely found on a single stage. The band and quartet move through tender ballads and, at other moments, bring real energy to the room. www.graceland-online.de
