Conchita Wurst inspires Schwerin: An evening full of emotions!

In the charming Marstall von Schwerin you can meet a dazzling personality today: Conchita Wurst, in truth Tom Neuwirth, is a guest and brings a breath of fresh air to the city with her appearance. Leger dressed in a black baseball cap, a white blouse and khaki pants, she kindly interacts with the musicians of the Mecklenburg Staatskapelle. This sample is not just an ordinary event, but part of the "From Vienna with Love" program, which is dedicated to great emotions and powerful female voices. General Music Director Mark Rohde heads the session and has selected two emotional pieces for the evening: "Where do I Begin" from the film "Love Story" and "All by Myelf" by Eric Carmen, known by Céline Dion.

Conchita Wurst, who won the Eurovision Song Contest with its powerful hit "Rise Like a Phoenix" in 2014, has established itself as a symbol of diversity and acceptance in the music world. Her victory came just after the adoption of Russia's anti-gay law and was perceived as an expression of tolerance and the struggle for LGBT rights. Despite the threats she received before her appearance, Conchita faced the challenges and became a mouthpiece for many who stand up for equality. "The name 'Conchita Wurst' stands for gender diversity," explains Neuwirth and describes itself as a "bird of paradise" between classic musicians.

an impressive career

When Thomas Neuwirth, born on November 6, 1988 in Gmunden, he began his musical journey in the casting show "Starmania" in 2007. After a few years as part of the boy band "Now different!" he started developing the travesty art Conchita. Her first appearance was in 2011, and soon afterwards she made headlines in the Eurovision preliminary decision. Conchitas victory in 2014 was not only the first for Austria since 1966, but also the first in which no one supported the artist by dancers or choirs. This impressive solo represented a milestone.

Conchita has participated in many Pride events and has raised their voice for the LGBT community. Her appearances are not only musical performances, but also messages of hope and acceptance. For example, she spoke in the European Parliament about discrimination and campaigned for human rights. Her album published in 2018 with the Viennese symphonists and their continuous tour since 2011 show that it is firmly anchored in the international spotlight.

A look into the future

With every appearance, Conchita also brings her personal story, which is shaped by the desire for a world without discrimination. Their commitment extends far beyond music and shows how strong art can be to make social changes. "It is about breaking up gender boundaries and explaining the importance of interaction," said Neuwirth. With her art and courage, Conchita Wurst has not only influenced the music world, but also the attitude of many people to gender and sexuality.

at a time when the challenges for LGBT people continue to exist, Conchita remains a bright spot and a voice of hope. Looking forward to her further artist career, it turns out that the music of Conchita Wurst is much more than just entertainment - it is a call for acceptance and love.
