    Buchvorstellung & Film
    Albert Ostermaier
    „Die Liebe geht weiter – Roman mit Pasolini“
    Albert Ostermaier & Thomas Schmauser Lesung
    Rachel Salamander Moderation
    Im Anschluss
    „Kino im Konzertsaal“
    Edipo Re (Regie: Pier Paolo Pasolini, IT 1967)
    Warum Sie diese Veranstaltung besuchen sollten:
    Auf den Spuren der rätselhaften Ermordung Pasolinis und in seiner empathischen Anverwandlung der Sonette zieht Albert Ostermaier in seinem Roman alle Sprachregister und erfährt so in einer schonungslosen autobiografischen Selbsterkundung über sich, was er ohne Pasolini nie erfahren hätte: Die Liebe geht weiter.

    in German

    20:00 Concert Hall 29 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    Im Rahmen einer von der Literaturwissenschaftlerin Rachel Salamander moderierten Lesung mit Thomas Schmauer (Schauspieler des Jahres 2025) stellt Albert Ostermaier seinen neuen Roman über Pier Paolo Pasolini vor.
    Vor fünfzig Jahren wurde Regisseur Pier Paolo Pasolini brutal ermordet. Das Verbrechen wurde nie aufgeklärt und man spekulierte über seinen Tod mehr als über das, was er an unvergleichbaren Filmen, Büchern und anderen Werken hinterließ.
    Für den Schriftsteller Albert Ostermaier stehen Pasolini und sein Werk gleich einem Fixstern über allem. Ihnen setzt er mit seinem „Roman mit Pasolini“ nun ein leidenschaftliches Denkmal. Wie Pasolini geht Ostermaier dabei über die Grenzen — dem einen wie dem anderen ist alles Private politisch und alles Politische privat.

    Tribute to Klaus Doldinger († Oktober 2025)
    Roberto di Gioia piano
    Lars Danielsson bass
    Wolfgang Haffner drums
    „Abracadabra“
    Warum Sie dieses Konzert besuchen sollten:
    Eine musikalische Hommage an einen der wichtigsten deutschen Jazzmusiker und Weggefährten Siggi Lochs

    Mit dem Tod des Saxophonisten, Komponisten und Bandleaders Klaus Doldinger am 16. Oktober 2025 verliert Deutschland eine seiner wichtigsten Musikerpersönlichkeiten – weit über den Jazz hinaus.
    Doldingers Laufbahn ist eng mit dem Produzenten und Musikmanager Siggi Loch verbunden, der diesem beim von ihm kuratierten European Jazztival in Schloss Elmau ein Konzert widmet. Roberto di Gioia & Wolfgang Haffner spielten jahrelang an Doldingers Seite in dessen Band „Passport“.

    (Das ursprünglich für diesen Abend geplante Konzert mit Verneri Pohjola, John Parricelli & Lars Danielsson muss daher entfallen)

    21:30 Concert Hall 94 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    Klaus Doldinger pflegte eine enge Beziehung zu Schloss Elmau, als häufiger Gast mit vielen Konzertauftritten & zahlreichen Jam Sessions.
    Sein gemeinsamer Weg mit Siggi Loch begann 1962, als sich das gemeinsam produzierte Album "Jazz Made in Germany" zum ersten international erfolgreichen Album einer deutschen Jazzgruppe entwickelte – der Startpunkt von Doldingers mehr als 60 Jahre andauernder Karriere. In der Folge realisierten Klaus Doldinger und Siggi Loch gemeinsam über 20 Alben und wurden enge Freunde.

    Details

    Daniel Hope owes his deep connection to the Emerald Isle to his great-grandfather. In pieces such as “Danny Boy” and Vivaldi's “L'estro armonico” concertos, the violin star now expresses this part of his musical DNA and masterfully combines classical music with Irish traditional tunes.
