hr-Sendesaal, Thursday 09 February 2023

Alice Merton grew up in four different countries. Sounds like she has spent most of her life on the road? That’s right. To deal with her inner conflict about that, in 2016, the singer wrote her song "No Roots" and promptly became an internationally celebrated popstar. And also as a coach of the casting show "The Voice of Germany" the 30-year-old has proven what she’s capable of: Already in her first season in 2019 she won the trophy together with her protégée Emmanuela Santoso. This evening, Alice Merton and the Frankfurt Radio Bigband will "team" up and play the singer’s old and new hits.

__________________________________________________________

In vier verschiedenen Ländern ist Alice Merton aufgewachsen. Klingt nach einem Leben "on the road"? War es auch.

Ihre innere Zerrissenheit darüber wollte die Sängerin 2016 in ihrem Song "No Roots" verarbeiten und wurde prompt zum international gefeierten Popstar. Auch als Coach der Castingshow "The Voice of Germany" hat die inzwischen 30-Jährige ihr Können bereits unter Beweis gestellt, als sie mit ihrem Schützling Claudia Emmanuela Santoso gleich in ihrer ersten Staffel 2019 die Trophäe holte.

An diesem Abend werden Alice Merton und die hr-Bigband zum musikalischen "Team" und spielen die alten und neuen Hits der Sängerin.
