Reinhold Bilgeri

Reinhold Bilgeri is a man of many talents: he is not only one of Austria’s most successful pop, rock and jazz musicians (known for classics such as “Video Life” or “Some Girls Are Ladies”), but also a celebrated bestselling author, screenwriter and film director.

With novels such as “Der Atem des Himmels” (which he successfully adapted for cinema himself), “Die Liebe im leisen Land” and “Das Gewissen der Tauben”, Bilgeri proves his extraordinary power as a sensitive, human and poetic storyteller.

In his performances under the motto “Literature & Music”, he combines gripping readings from his works with grand interpretations from the Great American Songbook – from Frank Sinatra to Leonard Cohen.
