In autumn 2013 mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager and singer-songwriter Konstantin Wecker started an international concert tour together: a spectacular cross-over project combining Jazz, Classical “Kunstlied” and Wecker classics. In addition to the filmed concert the documentary shows the artists in intensive rehearsal with the Spring String Quartet and Jo Barnikel.
