Swing on Friedrichstraße

Antje Rietz, the singer with the trumpet, guides the audience through this varied concert program—full of swing, jazz, and sassy chansons—with her tongue-in-cheek charm and her signature profound lightness.

A native of Berlin, she sings lyrics and songs by Hildegard Knef, Cole Porter, and Louis Prima; “I Got Rhythm” by George Gershwin and “Ein Tag wie Gold” from the cult series Babylon Berlin will make Friedrichstraße shake.

With the elegant sound of her golden trumpet, she touches hearts without saying a word. And she celebrates the virtuoso ease with which the band accompanies her. A musical revelation of versatility and joy.

As one audience member so beautifully put it: “I’m spellbound. And blown away, because she can yodel, too.”
