    Vortrag & Gespräch

    Philippa Sigl-Glöckner
    „Gutes Geld - Wege zu einer gerechten und nachhaltigen Gesellschaft“
    Warum Sie diese Veranstaltung besuchen sollten:
    Die Expertin für Finanzpolitik und Geschäftsführerin der von ihr mitgegründeten Denkfabrik „Dezernat Zukunft“ stellt ihr erstes Buch vor

    in German

    Philippa Sigl-Glöckner ist Gründungsdirektorin der „Denkfabrik Dezernat Zukunft – Institut für Makrofinanzen“. In ihrem Buch zeigt sie Wege zu einer gerechten und nachhaltigen Gesellschaft auf: „Frauen sollen weniger arbeiten als Männer“, „Wir brauchen Arbeitslosigkeit“ – das sind die Regeln, nach denen die deutsche Regierung derzeit Entscheidungen über den Staatshaushalt trifft. Damit verspielen wir unsere Zukunft und gefährden die Demokratie. Es ist nicht der Kapitalismus an sich, der im Weg steht. Sondern die angebliche Alternativlosigkeit, die unsere Politik bestimmt. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie es anders geht. Mit gutem Geld für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben, wirksamen Klimaschutz und wirtschaftlicher Unabhängigkeit von Diktatoren.

    A Weekend with Alice Sara Ott

    Alice Sara Ott is one of the most sought-after pianists around and continues to delight her audiences with smart programmes. During the concert, the pianist from Munich with Japanese roots explains the relationships between the works from the piano, creating an in-depth connection between herself and the audience. On the two concert evenings in Elmau, she will relate Beethoven sonatas, in particular his famous “Moonlight Sonata”, to the Nocturnes by the early Romantic composer John Field, who is regarded as the inventor of this genre of Romantic-lyrical character pieces for piano.

    Gespräch

    Jo Lendle & Mely Kiyak streiten und lieben
    Die Schriftstellerin und der Hanser-Verleger im Gespräch

    Discussion in German

    Die Geschichte der Literatur ist auch eine Geschichte über Autoren und ihre vertrauensvolle Beziehung zu ihren Verlegern. Thomas Mann und Samuel Fischer führten elegante, gelehrte Gespräche. Heinrich Bölls Beziehung zu seinem Verleger Joseph Caspar Witsch war die reinste intellektuelle Befruchtung. Wenn sich der Verleger des Hanser Verlags Jo Lendle mit seiner Autorin Mely Kiyak austauscht, führt das zu nichts als Gefecht, Gezeter, Geschrei. Und trotzdem: Mit kaum einer anderen Schriftstellerin („Melinka, du quatscht mich noch in einen Schlaganfall. Schreib endlich einen Bestseller!“) unterhält sich Jo Lendle so gerne über Literatur und das Leben wie mit Mely Kiyak („Lendele, du Analphabet!“). Zwei zärtliche Schreihälse lesen aus den schönsten Stellen der Literatur, streiten und unterhalten sich darüber, warum Literatur hell ist und tröstet.

    Cuban Weekend
    with Sarah Willis & Sarahbanda

    French horn and salsa band, this combination had never been seen before – until Sarah Willis, horn player with the Berlin Philharmonic, combined them in her highly successful project “Mozart y Mambo” project. Her “Sarahbanda” brings together some of the most talented musicians from Cuba in a somewhat different Cuban salsa band – with a French horn at the centre. The arrangements of the well-known Cuban music are full of infectious rhythms, lightness and energy that make the listener listen with pleasure and even encourage them to dance.

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.
