    Jazz

    Brad Mehldau piano
    Why you must attend this concert:
    The great American pianist Brad Mehldau is the benchmark of jazz piano

    LISTEN IN HERE!

    "A Star Is Born" was the headline of a major German newspaper in the late 1990s, when Brad Mehldau gave one of his first concerts in Europe. Since then, the versatile and highly creative keyboard-magician has unfolded an unprecedented international career, establishing himself as a bandleader and composer alike. His solo evening in Schloss Elmau will certainly not be a "back to the roots", as the rate at which Brad Mehldau reinvents himself is without equal.

    Literaturtage

    Literaturtage „Tagebücher“
    Medien der Selbstvergewisserung als literarische Gattung

    Kaum etwas ist privater als ein Tagebuch. Dennoch – oder gerade deswegen – sind manche Tagebücher in die Literaturgeschichte eingegangen. Keine andere Form des Schreibens ist so subjektiv, keine vermittelt einen ähnlich frischen Eindruck des gerade Erlebten. Die Geschichte dieser speziellen Art des autobiographischen Schreibens reicht von der Antike bis zu öffentlichen Blogs im Internet. Sie zeigt den Wandel im Selbstverständnis des Menschen im Verhältnis zur Geschichte.

    Book presentation

    Timothy Garton Ash
    “Europa – Eine persönliche Geschichte”
    Why you must attend this event:
    „Timothy Garton Ash is one of the world's most influential political publicists.“ (Joachim Gärtner, ARD TTT)

    in German

    DETAILS ABOUT THE BOOK

    Timothy Garton Ash is a passionate European. Even before 1989, he refused to accept the division of the continent, and he fought against Brexit until the very end. Now he is writing his own personal history of Europe. He tells of friends like Václav Havel, recalls the fall of the Berlin Wall and provides an analysis of recent history. The attack on Ukraine shows how urgently we need a free and united continent – no one embodies this idea more convincingly than Timothy Garton Ash.
