The name Bernhard Kurz has long been a prominent figure in the
international entertainment industry. For more than 20 years the producer has
been working in show business, and due to his extraordinary productions over
the course of his career, he has become 'the' expert in the area of tribute
shows. This reputation is highlighted by numerous awards such as "Best
Producer" (2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007) at the "Artist Choice Awards" in Las
Vegas. Furthermore, in Los Angeles in 2004 Kurz also received the honoured
"Reel Award" for "Best Producer". In 2006 in Las Vegas, Kurz was awarded with
the "Lifetime Achievement Award" for his life's work.

His show "Stars in Concert", at the Estrel Festival Center in
Berlin, has impressed over four million people since the start of 1997. In
the show, the world's best doppelgangers of the greatest legends in musical
history create the perfect illusion that you are seeing the original live on
stage. More than 45 different artists have performed in over 4,550 shows in
Berlin and made guest appearances worldwide. After "Starlight Express" - also
produced by Kurz - "Stars in Concert" is the longest-running show to have
played in any one city in Germany.

His other show productions have also been a massive success,
such as The Beatles musical "All you need is love!", which more than one
million people have seen at over 1,000 performances, the "The Beatles go
Philharmonic" show, The ABBA Story "Thank you for the music", "All that
swing" and "Elvis - The Show", which was presented by Elvis' former
bodyguard, Sonny West. The shows have been a success not only in Germany, but
also in Spain, Switzerland, Greece, Dubai, Australia, Japan and of course,
the USA. His Beatles musical "All you need is love!" - the most successful
Beatles musical worldwide, which played on the original stages in Hamburg and
is supported by ex-Beatles drummer Pete Best and John Lennon's first wife,
Cynthia Lennon - is currently touring around the United States with a large
philharmonic orchestra under the name of "Classical Mystery Tour."

In hindsight, "Stars in Concert" has been the "most important"
show of Bernhard Kurz's career. It has opened the doors to many other
productions and earned him recognition as one of the most famous and best
tribute show producers worldwide.
