Anders - "So kurz davor"

Anders
They are a five-member German a cappella group that combines catchy melodies with intelligent lyrics. Their songs are smart pop compositions in German that take the a cappella form seriously and are far more than instrumental imitations of cover songs or nostalgic ballads. The group has captivated audiences not only at their own concerts but also as support for artists like Revolverheld and Thees Uhlmann.

Anders are winners of numerous prestigious competitions: St Ingberter Pfanne 2020 (audience award and special recognition from the Minister of Culture), Vokal.total-Festival Graz 2019 (1st prize in the POP category), SoLaLa A-Cappella Festival Solingen 2019 (jury and audience awards). In 2019, their album "Viel Lärm um dich" received the CARA Award in the USA as the best European a cappella album. The group also won 1st place at Aarhus Vocal Festival 2024 and received the supporting award of the Kleinkunstpreis Baden-Württemberg 2024.

So kurz davor
Who doesn't know them? Those moments when your pulse quickens and your heart races. First kiss? Jump from the 10-meter board? Tell your boss what you really think? Speak uncomfortable truths? Moments when everything is at stake. In their new programme "So kurz davor", the five singers rise to the challenge and sing about life in all its facets in their own poetic way: humorously, melancholically, philosophically questioning, and confidently. Anders present a spectacular a cappella show with recognizable pop sound, authentic songs, and an intimacy with the audience that is unparalleled. The programme title "So kurz davor" is to be understood less as self-description and more as a promise.

With "So kurz davor", the Freiburg formation once again demonstrates that it can already compete with the biggest names in the scene.
