    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!

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

    "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.

    Der amerikanische Pianist Brad Mehldau gehört zu den derzeit erfolgreichsten Musikern des Jazz. Jetzt hat er eine umfangreiche Autobiografie veröffentlicht. Darin geht es um musikalische Erfahrungen im New York der frühen 1990er-Jahre, wo er seinen musikalischen Stil entwickelt hat, aber auch ernste persönliche Probleme lösen musste. In seiner Musik, sagt Mehldau, spiegeln sich seine unterschiedlichen Lebenserfahrungen wider, sowohl angenehme, aber auch schmerzvolle Erfahrungen.

    Wer ist das „Wir“ in „Wir sind das Volk“ und das „Du“ in „Du bist Deutschland“? Was ist deutsch? Wer ist deutsch? Sind wir deutsch genug? Anhand zahlreicher gesellschaftlicher Auseinandersetzungen legt der Journalist und Theologe Stephan Anpalagan die Vorurteile, Verharmlosungen und Selbsttäuschungen der Mitte bloß. Einer Mitte, die Kampfplatz und Sehnsuchtsort zugleich ist. Einer Mitte, die zum Dreh- und Angelpunkt einer polarisierten Gesellschaft geworden ist und zum Austragungsort einer aus dem Gleichgewicht geratenen Welt.

    „Das glückliche Geheimnis“

    17:00 Concert Hall 76 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    Frühmorgens bricht ein junger Mann mit dem Fahrrad in die Straßen der Stadt auf. Was er dort tut, bleibt sein Geheimnis. Zerschunden und müde kehrt er zurück. Und oft ist er glücklich. Jahrzehntelang hat Arno Geiger ein Doppelleben geführt. Jetzt erzählt er davon, pointiert, auch voller Witz und mit großer Offenheit. Wie er Dinge tat, die andere unterlassen. Wie gewunden, schmerzhaft und überraschend Lebenswege sein können, auch der Weg zur großen Liebe. Wie er als Schriftsteller gegen eine Mauer rannte, bevor der Erfolg kam. Und von der wachsenden Sorge um die Eltern.

    „Judenfetisch“

    17:00 Concert Hall 77 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    Was bedeutet „Jüdischsein“ heute? Deborah Feldman, von Holocaust-Überlebenden in den USA erzogen und ausgerechnet nach Deutschland emigriert, über einen Begriff, der immer auch eine Zuschreibung, eine Begrenzung, eine Projektion ist, im Negativen wie im Positiven. Es ist ein Plädoyer für mehr Gemeinsamkeit über Grenzen hinweg – und eine Ermutigung an alle jene, die sich aus der Falle von Gruppenzwängen befreien wollen, um ihre Identität frei und selbstbestimmt zu definieren.

    Rabih Abou-Khalil is a border crosser between worlds, moving from traditional Arabic music and European classical music to open jazz. Like a wanderer between cultures, the Lebanese-born oud virtuoso and composer combines Arabic, European and American music into a highly intelligent melange, far removed from any world music fashions. With an alert mind, a high level of playful and compositional competence, and a good dose of humor, he succeeds in an extraordinary way in merging the often contrasting worlds.

Their album “Closer” succeeded directly after its release at the beginning of February and reached an unbelievable 15th place in the German cross-genre charts - a small accolade for a jazz album, and an instrumental one at that.

    Media of self-assurance

    There are few things more private than a diary. No other form of writing is as subjective, none conveys a similarly fresh impression of what has just been experienced. The history of this special kind of autobiographical writing stretches from antiquity to public Internet blogs. It shows the change in the way humankind sees itself in relation to history.

    Robert Koall – Dramaturg und Autor – gehörte zum Freundeskreis um Wolfgang Herrndorf. Seine Dramatisierungen von dessen Romanen gehören zu den erfolgreichsten und meistgespielten Stücken der 2010er-Jahre.

    Sind Tagebücher Literatur? Was unterscheidet einen Text, der von Anfang an für die Veröffentlichung bestimmt ist von einem Tagebuch? Tagebücher können Gebrauchstexte sein oder reine Erinnerungsstützen. Als Selbstgespräche sind sie aber auch gerade wegen ihrer Intimität eine besonders authentische Form des literarischen Experimentierens.

    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

    21:00 Pavillon Retreat 59 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    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.

    Herfried Münkler
    „Welt in Aufruhr –
    Die Ordnung der Mächte im 21. Jahrhundert“
    Warum Sie diese Veranstaltung besuchen sollten:
    Ein aufregender, Maßstäbe setzender Ausblick auf die Machtkonstellationen im 21. Jahrhundert.

    Moderation: Stephan Sattler

    17:00 Concert Hall 48 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    Spätestens seit dem Abzug westlicher Truppen aus Afghanistan und dem russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine wissen wir, dass die bislang geltende Ordnung an ihr Ende gekommen ist. Die Welt ist in Aufruhr. Doch wie wird sie sich neu sortieren, und wie wird sie im 21. Jahrhundert aussehen? Vor welchen Umwälzungen, Brüchen und Umbrüchen stehen wir?
    Herfried Münkler zeigt in dieser gedankenfunkelnden geopolitischen Analyse, wo in Zukunft die Konfliktlinien verlaufen. Viel spricht dafür, dass ein neues System regionaler Einflusszonen entsteht, dominiert von fünf Großmächten. Wo liegen die Gefahren dieser neuen Ordnung, wo ihre Chancen? Wäre es ein austariertes Mächtegleichgewicht – oder Chaos? Und wie sollten sich Europa und Deutschland in den zu erwartenden globalen Auseinandersetzungen verhalten?

Beide sind auf der Suche nach der ersten, einzigen und endgültigen Liebe ihres Lebens. Der Weg zu diesem ehrenwerten Ziel wird erschwert durch die Alkoholsucht des Mannes, verlorene Telefonnummern, die Unkenntnis des Namens und der Adresse des jeweils anderen – und nicht zuletzt durch die allgemeine Tendenz des Lebens, denjenigen, die ihr Glück suchen, Steine in den Weg zu legen.

    Ilse ist erst 14 Jahre alt, als ihre Mutter, die jüdische Ärztin Lilli Jahn, im Sommer 1943 in ein Lager verschleppt und später in Auschwitz ermordet wird. Von heute auf morgen muss Lillis Tochter die Verantwortung für ihre drei jüngeren Schwestern übernehmen. Als „Halbjüdinnen“ sind die Mädchen selbst bedroht. Nach den traumatischen Erfahrungen in der NS-Zeit erlebt Ilse auch im Nachkriegsdeutschland, dass sie nicht wirklich dazugehört. Einfühlsam erzählt Martin Doerry die Geschichte seiner Mutter Ilse als Geschichte einer Überlebenden und einer in den Konventionen und Zwängen ihrer Zeit gefangenen Frau.

    “Mozart y Mambo” – A Mozart tribute on the composer's birthday)Why you must attend this concert:
    The successful project of the sought-after horn player combines Mozart with traditional Cuban music

    HIER REINHÖREN!

    17:00 Concert Hall 92 seats for hotel guests available
    Details

    This project by Sarah Willis, the sought-after horn player of the Berlin Philharmonic, combines Mozart's music with traditional Cuban music. That may not be the most obvious combination for some, but to that Sarah Willis simply replies “Just listen to it and you'll know why!” The dance-like lightness of Mozart's music translates easily into the Cuban attitude to life, and the energy and passion of the young Cuban musicians are so intoxicating that the special atmosphere becomes immediately tangible, she says. And indeed – when you listen to this ravishing Mozart-Mambo mix, you just want to dance. A Mozart homage on the composer's birthday!

    The pianist Georgijs Osokins gained international attention through his participation in the 2015 Chopin Competition, where his playing was either met with superlatives or caused controversy.
