    Nils Landgren Festival

    Nils Landgren Festival

    Nils Landgren is one of the most successful European jazz musicians ever and one of the world's top trombonists. Now, for the second time, he is organizing his own festival at Schloss Elmau. For this, “Mr. Redhorn”, as he is known because of the color of his trombone, has invited up-and-coming young artists from the Scandinavian jazz scene to join him alongside long-standing musical partners and friends from the worlds of jazz and classical music. The musical spectrum of the six concerts ranges from jazz to classical and beyond, from melancholy, tender ballads to distinctive, groovy sounds, and even alpine sounds.

    with Elin Rombo & Jessica Pilnäs (vocals), Anders Kjellberg Nilsson (violin) and Mats Bergström & Johan Norberg (guitar)

    Grigory Sokolov piano
    Why you must attend this concert:
    "Among all the pianists who have existed and still exist, Grigory Sokolov is in a category of his own." (Jan Brachmann, FAZ)

    Concert-experienced children aged 10 and above, who can sit still during the concert, are welcome to attend.

    Due to high demand, hotel guests can only be guaranteed a concert visit with prior reservation.

    21:00 Concert Hall 120 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    The unique character of music played live is a crucial aspect of understanding the expressive beauty and compelling honesty of Grigory Sokolov's art. His poetic interpretations, which come alive with mystical intensity in the concert hall, are based on an in-depth knowledge of the repertoire. His programmes span the entire history of music: from transcriptions of sacred polyphony of the Middle Ages and works by Couperin, Rameau and Bach, to the Classical and Romantic repertoire and key compositions of the 20th century. Now Grigory Sokolov returns to Schloss Elmau – with what is sure to be a compelling and impressive concert evening.
