Women's hearts melt away!
When Joja Wendt plays on the piano, the women's hearts melt away. We met the star pianist on the sidelines of his current tour for a conversation.
Had your wife Birte also fallen in love with her through her piano playing? Joja Wendt: No, about my tax return . That I'm a pianist did not impress them much. Through your tax return ? Joja Wendt: I was a client with her. First, she made it clear that she was forgiven. Then we met several times to go through my records. It clicked. And she left her friend? Joja Wendt: Yes. That was 18 years ago, and I get on well with her ex! How did the marriage proposal go? Joja Wendt: One day I was standing in front of our calendar. Between all the performances was a week off. I said to her, "Do not we want to marry?" Then I stopped her father's hand. Are you happily married? Joja Wendt: Of course - for 13 years. We swore we would grow old together and spend a day in the rocking chair reviewing life. Why are you wearing your wedding ring on your left hand? Joja Wendt: I had a serious accident in 1991. One of them drove me into the car. The doctors did not believe that I could ever play the piano again. The left little and the ring finger were broken. I got an iron plate inserted. For this to happen again, I have done everything, have trained so long, until my tears ran in pain over my cheek. That's why I wear the ring on this hand - in memory of it.
Here are the concert dates from Joja Wendt
When star pianist Joja Wendt gives a concert, that's all, but not one thing: boring! The hamburger always leads with lots of wit and charm through his program. He plays old jazz classics, hits the Beatles or sings together with colleagues. He never takes himself and his music too seriously, but makes a lot of fun in the whole hall!
