Dutch vocal group Frommermann is named after Harry Frommermann, who in 1927 founded the Comedian
Harmonists. This German ensemble, comprised of five singers and a pianist, was a huge sensation in the late 1920s and
early 1930s. The Comedian Harmonists were renowned for their broad variety of vocal styles and the fine sense of
humour with which they performed close harmony music. Within a short period of time they became international
celebrities, performing throughout Europe and the United States. In 1935 the Nazis forced the Comedian Harmonists to
disband, thus silencing them forever. In December 2004, at the request of the Grachtenfestival Amsterdam, tenor
Marcel Reijans brought together a group of fellow singers and a pianist who shared his love for the music of the
Comedian Harmonists. With this group, each of its members busy with (inter)national singing careers, ‘Broken Silence’
was created, a theatre programme paying tribute to the Comedian Harmonists. Under the direction of renowned
Dutch actor Peter Blok, Frommermann broke the silence that had been imposed on the Comedian Harmonists and
gave their music a new voice in the Netherlands. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
