Zyt isch do - Hommage an Liethas Lieder
Description
The concert event "Zyt isch do" is a musical homage curated by Corin Curschellas to mark the 75th birthday of the Graubünden singer-songwriter Walther Lietha, who will receive the Culture Prize from the Canton of Graubünden in 2025. Walter Lietha will be accompanied by the irrepressible Ship of Fools Band and some specially invited musicians inspired by the singer, who will reinterpret his songs. The concert is not a wistful, nostalgic retrospective, but a lively contribution to contemporary music and, of course, a proper counterweight to the "mainstream".
**Sophie Hunger, Stephan Eicher, Michael von der Heide, Max Lässer, Fatima Dunn, Efiso Contini and Andrea Caprez contribute to this tribute.**
Walter Lietha is a visionary. With his timeless poetic verses, the Graubünden bard has sung his way into the collective dialect memory with extraordinary songs and an unmistakable voice. His songs have touched, inspired, inspired and left a lasting mark on an entire generation. In his poetic reflections, he gave a language to the zeitgeist of the time, held up a mirror to society and thus moved his listeners in their innermost core.
In the mid-70s, Lietha was a bright star in the Swiss-German music firmament. He sang solo as well as with the Imboda Band, later called the Lietha Lässer Band, on numerous large and small stages in German-speaking Switzerland. There was hardly a shared apartment in which his records were not heard. Then it became quiet around the singer. His songs were no longer played on the radio. Walter Lietha, originally a bookseller and antiquarian, from then on took care of his bookshop, the "Ship of Fools" in Chur.
The musician Lietha is a gifted poet and storyteller. He sings because he has something to say, and he knows what he's talking about. Lietha formulated weighty existential themes that concern humanity today, poetically, profoundly and prophetically at the same time. Anyone who deals with his work will recognize that some things have turned out as he foresaw. Lietha's songs are as relevant as ever.
This is another reason why the audience can look forward to seeing what the singer, guitarist and singer-songwriter will sing and tell at the upcoming concerts.
The homage to Walter Lietha is initiated by the well-known Graubünden singer and composer Corin Curschellas, an important companion and friend of Walter Lietha.
Second concert on Friday, October 3, 2025 in planning, information to follow in August.
