Kammersänger Vincent Schirrmacher celebrates his stage anniversary with a selection of opera and operetta arias as well as songs from his career to date under the motto "Life is full of joy and value!" The anniversary is dedicated to thanks:
"Music is my life, and life as a musician is really valuable to me. That's not just me saying that, but also my long-time musical companion and good friend Jimmy Chiang. I have had a lot of luck in my life and good friends whom I would like to thank, my beloved piano teacher Prof. Tatjana Petrowna Nikolajewa, my "dearest professor for Sing-Sing" Prof. Raimund Gilvan, my fatherly friend, guide Prof. Josef Protschka, my "favourite artistic director" Prof. Michael Lakner, my second home, the Volksoper Vienna, my second family, the Vejdovszky family, and many more ... I am deeply grateful to life and my friends, so music is more than words to me. I thank Austria, I thank the city of Vienna and I thank my favourite people. Thank you for making my life so worth living."
