In 2012, Singer Pur achieved a very special coup: With their very first pop album, the six singers congratulated none other than Sting on his 60th birthday! Also thanks to the congenial arrangements, all of Sting's hits were given new life in an a-cappella style. But live, the ensemble takes it a step further: Sting's songs are combined with thematically related but stylistically diverse pieces across the vocal music spectrum: from the folk song "Rosestück, Holderblüh" to Billy Joel's "And so it goes".
