Volkswagen presents first concert ever of
US-musical-legend Barbra Streisand in Germany
Exclusive sale on www.volkswagen.de
It is the musical sensation of the
year: For the very first time world-famous American singer and
actress Barbra Streisand will play one concert in Germany during
her first ever tour of Europe. Streisand will play Berliner
Waldbühne on June 30th accompanied by a 58 piece orchestra.
Europe´s biggest automobile manufacturer, Volkswagen, presents
this once in a life time cultural event.

Volkswagen will support the concert of
the artist with a limousine-fleet, consisting of Passat
BlueMotion and Polo BlueMotion to shuttle crew and guests
safely, elegantly and environmentally sound - thus making an
important statement to the current debate about climate
protection as well as considering it as a must-have for the
ecology-minded Streisand.
"We admire Barbra Streisand as being
one of the most outstanding artists of our time. Her social and
political engagement as well as her strong commitment to
environment protection commands all our respect. We are
delighted to present this Berlin concert," says Stephan Grühsem,
Head of Group Communications at Volkswagen AG.
