Kohlund: Was the worst trumpet player in the monastery school
Actor Christian Kohlund loves music during his literary readings. But his own attempts in this area have failed, he says.
The Swiss actor Christian Kohlund (74, “The Zurich Crime”) wants to do more literary readings with music. But he wants to leave the music itself to others. “I was the worst trumpeter in the third voice at the monastery school,” Kohlund told the German press agency dpa. “I thought I was great, but the teacher once said that maybe I should just pretend.” The trick also helped him once in the 1990s when he played a trumpet player. “I practiced until I dropped, not the notes, but the handles. I had a double for the music.”
Kohlund is already touring successfully with musically accompanied readings, sometimes with his colleague from the “Zürich-Krimi”, Ina Paule Klink, who sings. “I’m working on a concert version of the one-man piece “In Doubt for the Defendant” by David W. Rintels,” said Kohlund. It’s about the intrepid lawyer Clarence Darrow, an uncompromising defender of ethos, law and humanity. Kohlund has already staged and performed the piece in theaters.
