In summer, the days seem endless. People chat and dream over a glass of wine until deep into the night... and suddenly it's there again: butterflies in the stomach, the first kiss, the great feeling of freedom. With the most beautiful melodies from pop, rock and classical music, the WDR Funkhausorchester provides the perfect soundtrack. Sit back, immerse yourself and enjoy!
At the "Summer Nights" concert, the WDR Funkhausorchester under the baton of chief conductor Frank Strobel played hits for balmy summer nights at the WDR Funkhaus in Cologne on June 16, 2023. With vocals by Tamara Lukasheva and Mark Keller.
