„SHILLER“ FINALY IN SERBIA
January 18th, 2019

German musician, composer and producer SCHILLER is coming to Belgrade! This audio- visual  show will happen on January 18th 2019 in Hala Sportova.
 
My name is Christopher von Deylen – and I am Schiller.” It doesn’t take more than ten words. The fans cheer. At some point, roughly in the middle of every Schiller concert, these ten words are spoken. The man stating them smiles briefly at the audience, then immerses himself again in his unusual sound-worlds where he compresses into music people’s dreams and hopes, the atmospheres of our time, yes the vibrations of the world.
 
Schiller, visionary who sells out arenas all around the world and leaves audience breathless where ever he goes, wishes to come to Serbia for the first time: “I heard good things about Serbia, I want to get to know Serbian audience”
 
The musician, composer and producer didn’t choose the name Schiller by accident. In 1998, the single “Glockenspiel” was on the table, a musical adaptation. Christopher von Deylen had just read “Die Glocke” (“The Bell”) by Friedrich Schiller and from now on released his albums under the poet’s name.
At the beginning, Schiller is still an electronically oriented project with dance elements, but the debut album “Zeitgeist” already catches the scene’s attention and shows that von Deylen rigorously pursues new musical directions.  Inspired by electro classics like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre, von Deylen creates visionary sounds that are way ahead of their time, because, with longing, they have absorbed past and present. Many Schiller compositions are strictly instrumental – nothing for same-sounding everyday radio music. Other pieces like the Schiller hits “I feel you” and “Dream of you” have such powerful  voices and are so catchy that even days after first hearing them one sings along.
 
Schiller’s “Glockenspiel” stormed the charts, the ensuing albums “Zeitgeist,” “Weltreise (Voyage)” “Leben (Life),” “Tag und Nacht (day & night)”, “Sehnsucht (desire)” and "Atemlos (Breathless)"were released in more than 26 countries and celebrated major successes.  Schiller was awarded 7 gold records, 2 gold DVDs, 2 platinum records, received the Echo- Award®, the DVD Champion Award for best music DVD, the Opus Award for best sound design as well as several grammy nominations.

World stars like Mike Oldfield, the chinese classical pianowizard Lang Lang, Colbie Caillat or Sarah Brightmann love the musician’s self-confident, but also reserved and quiet manner. They haven’t been the only well-known guest musicians the sound visionary has been able to attract for his productions. Some of the many others include September, Ana Torroja (Mecano) Tarja Turunen (ex-front woman of the Finnish cult band Nightwish), Despina Vandi, Anggun, Lenka,Nadia Ali, Klaus Schulze or Midge Ure (Ultravox). These ever-recurring surprising collaborations with major names in music from all over the world make Schiller a unique project in both the national and international music world.
 
Von Deylen breaks with almost all of the established rules in the music business and nevertheless or exactly for that reason is successful. Schiller does not have a front man who spurs on the masses, there is no superstar who smiles into the cameras.  Christopher von Deylen does not let anyone dictate to him what is supposedly suitable for the market. “I make music which I myself like to hear and would buy.”
 
Schiller is now working on the 9th studio album “Morgenstund” which is scheduled for release in March 2019, followed by a live “Die Neue Arena Tour”. This tour and his wish to come to Serbia are bringing him to Belgrade – come to Hala sportova on January 18th to hear, see and experience Schiller!
