Marie Louise Werth & Band - l'amur da Nadal

«L'Amur da Nadal»:
MARIE LOUISE WERTh gives a voice to the festival of love

Marie Louise Werth and her band will once again provide atmospheric Advent concerts after the enthusiastic echo of 2023 and previous years. The Christmas tour "l'Amur da Nadal" promises to be a special experience for the eyes, ears and heart. Good music from all over the world, mixed with Werth's own compositions, make Christmas wishes come true with touchingly beautiful and unforgettable moments even before the big presents. For the 18th time in 2024, Marie Louise Werth and her band will delight audiences at five locations in Switzerland in an original and emotionally charged Christmas show. Even after more than forty years in show business, Werth shows no trace of aging in her vocal ability. Her timbre has matured and has rather gained in warmth and finesse, while the radiant force of her organ still simply knocks you down. Secure your seat early and let yourself be sprinkled and infected by the versatile lively entertainer and Graubünden lady on the piano - immerse yourself in the magical splendour of Christmas 2024.

Marie Louise Werth has written music history
Marie Louise Werth has long been one of Switzerland's great voices. The thoroughbred musician from Graubünden has been able to inspire for over four decades with her warm and unmistakable voice, as well as with her talent on the piano. In 1983, she appeared on stage for the first time as the lead singer of the Graubünden singing group Furbaz (Lausbuben). Six years later, the big breakthrough followed: with Werth's composition, Furbaz represented Switzerland at the international Concours Eurovision de la Chanson (ESC) in Lausanne in 1989. Through it, 600 million television viewers experience the fourth national language of Switzerland for the first time at the Eurovision Song Contest, as the format is called today. Her entry "Viver senza tei" became a hit, went down in Swiss history and remains the only Rhaeto-Romanic contribution to the largest international music competition to this day. What a beautiful coincidence: In 2025, the ESC will finally be held in Switzerland again for only the third time. So you will be able to reminisce about the year 1989, when Marie Louise Werth thrilled the audience at the second Swiss edition after the premiere in 1956. Shortly after her participation in the ESC, Furbaz received the coveted Prix Walo as the best entertainer of the year 1989 from the show Szene Switzerland. Full concert halls and the first gold record followed. In 2004, Furbaz made their comeback with 13 superlative Christmas tours and were rewarded again in May 2014 with the coveted Prix Walo trophy as audience favorites.

Also successful with a solo program
Parallel to her engagement with the group Furbaz, Marie Louise Werth started her solo career in 1992 in the show "Benissimo". Since then, she has been consistently successful with various solo projects in various live formations and with her 17-piece Mountain Swing Big Band and the "Can You Feel The Swing Tonight" program. In addition to being nominated twice by the show Szene Switzerland as a solo artist in the singing category, Werth received the "Hanns Seidel Foundation Prize for Young Song Poets" from Bavarian Radio in 1993. From 2001 to 2004, Marie Louise Werth and the storyteller Jolanda Steiner rode a wave of success with music for the little ones. This was followed by a number of children's CD productions, including the series "Letters from Felix" with the popular cuddly bunny.
The likeable and authentic artist from the Surselva now has a wide repertoire to show and sings easily in several languages. However, her preference is still for her mother tongue, Romansh. "I am deeply touched by how the fourth national language of Switzerland is still highly appreciated and loved by the public today," are the words of Milly, as she is called by her closest friends.
