    Sherko Fatah
    “Schwarzer September”

    Sherko Fatah is one of the brightest observers and interpreters of events in the Middle East. His novels, rich in facts yet densely narrated in atmosphere, trace the adventurous paths of the characters from different cultures in the midst of the conflicts in the Middle East and describe the effects of these conflicts, which like pressure waves also reach today's Western Europe.

    Sona Jobarteh vocals, kora
    & Band

    The Kora is a West African harp instrument with 21 strings, traditionally played by men. Sona Jobarteh has broken this old rule! She plays the kora standing up and demonstrates her complex musical skills on stage as the front woman of her own band. In her compositions she uniquely combines the influences of modern music with traditional African music and thus remains connected to the roots of her homeland.

    Sebastian Manz clarinet
    Münchener Kammerorchester

    Mozart: clarinet concert
    Barber: adagio for strings et al.

    The Süddeutsche Zeitung described the Munich Chamber Orchestra as a “small group of noble musicians” with a “ravishing mix of historical and modern music-making practice”. The ensemble's profile is characterised by sophisticated programmes that confront works from earlier centuries with contemporary music in an exciting way. The ensemble will perform in Schloss Elmau together with clarinettist Sebastian Manz, whose “beguilingly beautiful tone and technical sovereignty are unparalleled,” as Holger Arnold wrote in the Fono Forum.

    Author's reading & discussion

    Mircea Cartarescu
    “Solenoid”

    in Romanian and German
    Moderation and German texts: Ernest Wichner, translator

    A young man reaps scorn and ridicule in his literary circle when he performs his text “Der Niedergang”. He does not become a celebrated writer as hoped, but a teacher in the suburbs of Bucharest. But when this nameless narrator buys a house in the shape of a ship, he falls under the spell of Solenoid, a kind of giant magnetic coil that is located below the cellar. Its gravitational force, however, does not pull downwards, but consistently lifts up everything that comes into its environment – people, things, even reality itself. Ingenious, crazy, great: with his monumental novel, Mircea Cartarescu has once again created world literature.

    Jazzrausch Bigband
    “Dancing Wittgenstein”

    Bigband jazz made in Bavaria. The Jazzrausch-Bigband is committed to inspiring their audience with creative music making. Their success has been unbroken and the young techno brass band has carried them far beyond the borders of the state to the big German classical music festivals in Rheingau and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as well as to the Lincoln Center in New York and to Africa & China.

    Lucas Jussen piano
    Arthur Jussen piano

    Schubert: Allegro A minor “Lebensstürme” et al.

    “It's like driving two BMWs at the same time,” enthused the conductor Michael Schønwandt after a concert with Lucas and Arthur Jussen. Since their earliest childhood, the two Dutch brothers have sat together at the piano, performed before their Queen Beatrix, won prizes at competitions and received lessons from Maria João Pires and Menahem Pressler. The two acclaimed Wunderkinder have long since developed into an internationally sought-after piano duo that has conquered concert halls all over the world and brought a breath of fresh air to the classical music scene.

    Fauré Quartett piano quartet
    Philipp Geist/Videogeist Berlin live video installation/visual art

    Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition

    The four award-winning musicians of the Fauré Quartet have been a team for over 25 years and can undoubtedly be described as the most influential piano quartet in the world. They are eager to experiment and known for breaking new ground, but they are not afraid to leave the beaten track. Voilà – now you can let the “Pictures of an Exhibition” have a completely new effect on you: The quartet has rearranged the piece for piano quartet and presents the work in a new guise – in the epicenter between solo piano and large orchestra, the Fauré Quartet unites the best of both worlds.

    Classical

    Gidon Kremer violin
    Martha Argerich piano

    Schubert: violin sonata A major, Prokofjew & Weinberg

    An exceptional duo evening: Gidon Kremer and Martha Argerich are among the greatest musicians of our time. In addition to their unique playing, they are known for their combination of classical and unconventional programs. In Schloss Elmau, the two artists travel through epochs - Schubert's Violin Sonata is followed by Prokofiev, and the programme is rounded off by works by Mieczyslaw Weinberg, whose 100th birthday we celebrate this year and whose increasing popularity Gidon Kremer played a decisive role in.
    Children aged 10 & above are welcome to attend.

    Igudesman & Joo
    Aleksey Igudesman violin, vocals
    Hyung-ki Joo piano, vocals
    “Die Rettung der Welt”

    The world is sinking ... not in colourful chaos, no, in grey rooms, grey boredom and grey monotony. But rescue is approaching: Igudesman & Joo show us how they managed to give their lives the necessary portion of chaos and humour and thus keep them fresh and colourful. “Their mix of classical music and comedy, combined with references to pop culture and a completely new interpretation of the word slapstick, is fuelled by genuine, stunning virtuosity.” (The New York Times) Follow them on their way and let yourself be infected by the creativity of Igudesman & Joo, but also by Mozart, Bach and other colleagues.

    Sabine Meyer clarinet
    Nils Mönkemeyer viola
    William Youn piano

    Mozart: Kegelstatt-Trio & Schumann

    As “Queen of the Clarinet” is Sabine Meyer known – after all, she has been one of the greatest clarinettists for years. Together with Nils Mönkemeyer and William Youn, she has formed a top-class trio with whom she can be heard at all major festivals and in the most important chamber music series. Nils Mönkemeyer, as one of the most successful viola players in the world, has earned his instrument an enormous amount of attention. Pianist William Youn was awarded the Gramophone Magazine's Editor's Choice Award for his complete recording of the Mozart sonatas on the OehmsClassics Label.

    Ludovico Einaudi piano

    Works from Ludovico Einaudi's album
    “Seven Days Walking”

    His unique piano playing fills entire stadiums, yet Ludovico Einaudi still loves the chamber music form: the great melodic Ludovico Einaudi returns to Schloss Elmau for an intimate trio with two of his ancestral Sidemen.

    Book Fair Days

    Presentation of the autumn releases with critics Ijoma Mangold, Denis Scheck & Insa Wilke.

    Directly following the Frankfurt Book Fair, three distinguished literary critics travel to Schloss Elmau to present the most important literary releases of the autumn and to discuss their significance and quality. This time they appear as a trio with two intensive days of discussions.

    1915: Die alte Bibel einer armenischen Familie an der Schwarzmeerküste ist das Einzige, was den Geschwistern Anahid und Hrant auf ihrer Flucht bleibt. Hundert Jahre später in Jerewan wird der Restauratorin Helen eine Bibel anvertraut. Sie taucht ein in die Rätsel des alten Buches, in dem jemand an den Rand einer Seite gekritzelt hat: „Hrant will nicht aufwachen“.

    Kirill Troussov violin
    Alexandra Troussova piano

    Brahms: violin sonata No 3, Tschaikowsky & Mozart

    They have been playing together since they can walk and longer than they can remember: Kirill Troussov and his sister Alexandra Troussova. They are now one of the very few world-class sibling duos. Their devotion to the search for perfection and their high level of emotion not only connects the two of them, but also intensively transmits itself to their audience.

    Émile Parisien Quartet

    Émile Parisien, soprano & tenor saxophone
    Julien Touéry, piano
    Ivan Gélugne, bass
    Julien Loutelier, drums

    Vital, curious and progressive, the French scene has set important milestones for the development of contemporary European jazz and yet has never lost its grounding. Progress on the feet of his own tradition also characterizes the saxophonist Emile Parisien: a jazz visionary who stands with one leg in the past and looks far ahead. This makes him the “best news for European jazz for a long time” (Le Monde), to which “undivided attention” (NDR) should be paid.

    Sebastian Koch recitation
    “Paradies”

    musical reading with texts by Dostojewski, Brecht, Nietzsche & Eco and works by Bach, Ravel & Schumann

    Daniel Hope, one of the most sought-after violinists of our time, and Sebastian Koch, German cinema star, who has also played alongside Tom Hanks, meet and embark on a quest for paradise. Daniel Hope plays works for violin solo by Bach, Ravel and Schumann, while Sebastian Koch reads texts by Dostojewski, Brecht, Jelinek, Nietzsche and Eco.

    Ana de la Vega flute
    Daniel Röhn violin, viola
    Paul Rivinius piano

    Debussy: Prélude à l’àpres-midi d’un faune,
    Bach: “Musikalischen Opfer” (excerpts),
    Mozart et al.

    Ana de la Vega almost hung up her flute: she was actually on the way to pursue a completely new career path as an artist manager. But her freshly recorded recording of Mozart's flute concertos became such an international success that she finally returned to music – and today is regarded as one of the most extraordinary flutists. Together with Daniel Röhn, “one of the most remarkable violinists of our time” (Harald Eggebrecht, SZ) and the renowned pianist Paul Rivinius, she can now be heard for the first time at Schloss Elmau.

    Für die Website Something Else! ist der Deutsche Florian Weber "ein wahrhaft wegweisender Pianist", die New York Times streicht dessen "Ästhetik des aerodynamischen Fließens" heraus, All About Jazz bescheinigt dem nach Neuerungen hungernden Deutschen einen "allesverzehrenden Musikappetit", und die Süddeutsche Zeitung erblickt in ihm einen Ausnahmepianisten "mit frischem, unverbrauchtem Ton", der "Interessantes und Mitreißendes zu erzählen" hat. Das Lob der Kritiker ist Ausdruck einer Erfolgskarriere, in deren Verlauf sich Weber als feste Größe in der globalen Szene etablierte.

    Schon als Teenager galt Julian Wasserfuhr als größtes deutsches Ausnahmetalent an der Trompete seit Till Brönner. Zusammen mit seinem Bruder Roman am Klavier bildet er ein unzertrennliches Paar. Ihre (Seelen-)Verwandtschaft und Vertrautheit kommt dem gemeinsamen Spiel zugute. Ob mit Trompete oder Flügelhorn, Julian schafft mit seinem warmen Ton atmosphärische Klangräume. Sein Bruder Roman ist mit seinem akzentuiert-strahlenden Klavierspiel an dem frischen, aber dennoch ausgereiften und luftigen Sound der Band nicht minder beteiligt. Die ZEIT fand die Musik der Brüder „verblüffend ungewöhnlich“, die Süddeutsche Zeitung bescheinigte Julian Wasserfuhr einen „magischen Ton“.

    about

    Hannah Arendt
    “Wir Juden –
    Schriften 1932 bis 1966”

    „Jude sein gehört für mich zu den unbezweifelbaren Gegebenheiten meines Lebens.“ – Hannah Arendt beginnt mit ihrer Arbeit zu Rahel Varnhagen, sich mit der Geschichte der Juden in Europa zu beschäftigen. Nachdem sie 1933 aus Deutschland fliehen muss, setzt sie sich verstärkt mit ihrer Zugehörigkeit zum Judentum auseinander. Dieser Band versammelt zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichte Aufsätze Arendts zur politischen Bedeutung jüdischer Identität. Außerdem dokumentiert er ihre Essays zur Entwicklung von Zionismus, Palästina und Israel. Herausgegeben, zum Teil erstmals übersetzt und eingeordnet von Marie Luise Knott und Ursula Ludz, schließen diese Schriften (Piper) eine wichtige Lücke in der Arendt-Literatur. Marie Luise Knott stellt „Wir Juden“ im Gespräch mit Rachel Salamander vor.

    Janoska Ensemble

    Ondrej Janoska, Violine | Roman Janoska, Violine | František Janoska, Klavier | Julius Darvas, Kontrabass

    The musical universe is infinite and the galaxy of best-loved composers alone contains thousands of musical suns. Stylistically, though, these are often musical light-years apart. The Janoska Ensemble has set out to span intergalactic distance with its unique synthesis of musical worlds and its venture has won it an enthusiastic international public in a remarkably short time. The four young progenitors of this art - each with a superb classical training - have combined their individual musical attainments to perfection: Ondrej, František and Roman Janoska (three brothers from Bratislava) and their brother-in-law Julius Darvas (born and bred in Konstanz) are already successful with their "Janoska Style" in repeated engagements on four continents. The Janoska Style possesses the rare ability to enthuse dedicated followers of totally opposing genres. Its vast reserves of positive energy electrify an audience after just a few bars.
