translation by Astrid Nolde-Gallasch Popstar Chris de Burgh with Archbishop Ludwig Schick Worldstar fascinated by Bamberger Dome - Archbishop Schick shows his bishop residence Bamberg. He has already been three times to Bamberg, but with better weather! With a smile on his face and a critical look to the sky, the Irish singer Chris de Burgh visited the Bamberger Dome before his open air concert in Bamberg. Archbishop Ludwig Schick showed the 56 year old Irishman the treasures of the world culture heritage. The singer with British parents who was born in Buenos Aires as the son of a diplomate has travelled the whole world as a child before he settled in Ireland. The singer was impressed by the Bamberger Dome, its art treasures and sacred works. Names of Frankonian artists like Tilman Riemenschneider were not new for him. "When I am in cities - on tour or privately - then I always visit the big churches. But I am for the first time inthe Bamberger Dome, although it is the third time that I am in this city." It has also been an impressive experience for the archbishop to be in touch with such a popular and famous European star. After all the archbishop knows the singer and has heard him live too once in Fulda. Culture connects people and music is culture, and especially Chris de Burgh sings often about peace and freedom, said Schick. Chris de Burgh made a stop in Bamberg on Saturday the 19th June 2004 during his European tour. He gave an open air concert on the Domplatz. Visitors of the Dome and tourists already could enjoy a little free concert in the afternoon during the soundcheck, right after the Dome guidance. |
