About us
SEELENHERZ is a sound, a feeling, a space that arises when music connects people.
At the origin are Dr. med. Konstanze Gerlach and Frank Walter. Their first encounter was anything but planned: in 2013, Frank played a surprise concert with his band – right in Konstanze’s living room. From this special evening, a joint session spontaneously developed. What began back then quickly grew into a close musical and friendly connection.
In the following years, both initially shared the stage together with a rock band. At the same time, something of their own emerged: a duo project in which their first joint songs were created. The pieces draw from life itself – from quiet moments, ruptures, hope, and new beginnings. Stylistically open, wandering between different genres, their music always remained one thing: honest and immediate.
Out of this shared journey, SEELENHERZ eventually emerged. Pianist Peter Hirsch also played a significant role in the debut album, which was released in 2023, and today he is indispensable as a musical director for live performances, songwriting, and arrangements.
The name SEELENHERZ also represents the sound and atmosphere that arises when music is carried together. Or, as BOP Magazine wrote about their music: ‘… a touching mix of depth, warmth, and musical openness that does not conform to any category.’
Today this musical heart continues to grow: SEELENHERZ performs live in an expanded lineup – together with Konstanze Gerlach, Frank Walter, and Peter Hirsch (piano), Virginie Jahn (bass), Alexander Slomka (vocals), and Angela Hodgson (violin) also perform. On very special occasions, Dr. Nico Klisch (bass clarinet, tarogato) also accompanies them. Together they give the songs room to breathe and allow ever new shades of sound to emerge.
Meanwhile, SEELENHERZ is already writing new songs. Work on the second album has begun – and the journey of SEELENHERZ continues!
FRANK WALTER
Frank Walter (guitars, vocals) began learning classical guitar at the age of 12. Later, he transitioned to jazz, receiving private lessons from Thomas Buhé. He completed his professional qualification in guitar at the music school under the guidance of Hans Graf. In the subsequent years, Frank played Irish-influenced rock with Manne Wagenbreth in “Drumalane Waltz” and jazz/free improvisation in a duo with Nico Klisch (saxophone, clarinet). Studio productions and guest appearances in various projects followed.
After the passing of his best friend Lutz Pohlers, with whom he shared the stage for 40 years, Frank founded the band “Bona Parthe.”
KONSTANZE GERLACH
Dr. med. Konstanze Gerlach (vocals, violin) began playing the violin at the age of 5. After completing her music-focused high school education at Thomasschule in Leipzig, she pursued a degree in medicine. Today, she works as a general practitioner. Besides family and her professional life, music is a matter of the heart for her, leading her on new journeys and highs. It provides her with strength when daily life becomes demanding. During such times, new ideas, melodies, and lyrics emerge from her soul, which she quickly captures or writes down, often finding herself “between the chairs.”
In addition to SEELENHERZ, Konstanze is also an active guest musician with KARO NERO.

We met Peter Hirsch during the preparations for the debut album and laid the foundation for a friendship that wasn’t just musical. As an arranger and auditory visionary with his unmistakably sensitive playing, he is an important anchor in the harbor of SEELENHERZ.

Nico Klisch enriches the acoustic line-up of SEELENHERZ. In everyday life, as an orthodontist, he provides young and old with a smile that comes from the heart. He makes our songs float with deeply formed melodies and gentle tones.
