Viola Tami hosts "Ich schänke dir es Lied" (I give you the song)
SRF is presenting the five-part event program "Ich schänke dir es Lied" in spring 2017. Viola Tami will host the program.
The 35-year-old from Zurich has been working regularly on the radio, on TV, on the theater stage or at events for many years and has successfully established herself as an SRF presenter in recent years. Most recently, she hosted the last two seasons of "Die grössten Schweizer Talente". Viola Tami will host the five Saturday evening shows in spring 2017 - and is already on the road for one or two surprises in the run-up to the show.
In the program "Ich schänke dir es Lied", people tell their personal story. And they surprise a particular person with a song, the song of their shared story: from romantic pop ballads to folk songs, rap or rock songs - for moments of friendship, falling in love, saying goodbye or happiness. Each song is performed by a well-known artist - the focus here is on Swiss musicians. SRF wants to promote national music and provide a platform for local artists with this event. The surprise for the recipient can take place anywhere: in the pedestrian zone, in your own garden, in the office canteen or live in the studio. Sometimes it is huge, sometimes small and intimate - but it always happens for a good reason.
In each of the four live shows from the Bodensee-Arena in Kreuzlingen, there are ten people, ten stories, ten surprises and ten songs. In each show, viewers will select three of the ten songs that have particularly touched them - in the fifth and final live show, 12 of the 40 songs will be available for the final vote. In the end, the audience will decide which is the most emotional song from all the "Ich schänke dir es Lied" shows.
