Basellandschaftlicher Kulturpreis goes to Flavian Graber
The cantonal government of Basel-Landschaft has awarded Flavian Graber, known as the frontman of the band "We Invented Paris", the CHF 20,000 Music Culture Prize in the music category.
Flavian Graber comes from Liestal and already has an impressive career behind him: over 500 concerts have taken him to festival stages in Switzerland and Europe. His successes include five studio albums and various TV and radio appearances. His songs have also found their way into the soundtracks of several films. After twelve years of English-language indie pop, he switched to a solo career with dialect singing, accompanied by guitar or piano.
Graber has hosted the "SongwriterCircle" at the Palazzo Theater in Liestal since 2020. The aim of the format is to promote songwriting and the exchange of ideas between musicians in the region. He also initiated the "Hiking Concerts", where concert guests hike with the artist while listening to his dialect songs and the sounds of nature. These events range from sunrise hikes and matinees followed by lunch to evening walks with views over the city or hikes through the vineyards with wine tasting.
