Most of you might know Persephone as the godess of the dead, a character from the greek myth and wife of Hades, ruler of the underworld. In present time PERSEPHONE are a band around Sonja Kraushofer and her breathtaking voice who some of you might already know from L’ÂME IMMORTELLE. In 2000 PERSEPHONE was formed and released their debut album in January 2001 ('Home'). It was followed by an EP-release called 'Still...' one year later. The band took their time to raise a conceptual work regarding the mythological character Persephone which meant to release two records within one year, connected by a tour playing one concert per month only. 'Atma Gyan' (eternal light) was released in spring 2004 – the time when the godess arrives in the world of the living. In winter 2004, when she has to go back to the shadows, 'Mera Sangeet Kho Gaya' (my music is gone) reflected the experiences she had made within the time she was on earth – taking her desparation with her down into the underworld. Now, in 2007 there is going to be the next release of the band called 'Letters to a Stranger'. It follows a completely different thought which has nothing to do with greek myth but nevertheless means another record with songs full of despair, unfulfilled desires and lost hopes. First time in band-history they were working together with orchestra. Martin Höfert, who leads PERSEPHONE together with Sonja, wrote the orchestral scores which were performed by the Philharmonic Chamber-Orchestra of Wernigerode. 'Letters to a Stranger' will be released in 2nd Nov. For further information please check out the band’s website: http://www.persephone-home.de.
When playing a concert, PERSEPHONE perform strictly acoustically. Thereby they have been supported by Holger Wilhelmi (Cello), Johannes Kramer (Cello), Franz Heinrich Lirsch (Doublebass), Florian C. Reithner (Piano), and Tim Warweg and John Abedelsayed (Percussions).

Gutes Neues Design! Das finde ich viel ansprechender als das letzte Weiße! Oder ist das vielleicht nur ein neues Layout weil wieder ein Album ansteht...? ;-) Darüber würde ich mich jedenfalls sehr freuen und würde auch wieder versuchen eurem Konzert in Wernigerode beizuwohnen. Schade, dass Ihr diesmal nicht beim WGT dabei wart...aber "zumindest" war Sonja mit L'ame Immortelle zu sehen...:-)
Dir noch eine fantastische Woche und beste Wünsche aus Halberstadt!
