featuringCHA D H O O PES & MÜNCHENER K A M MERO RCHESTERM A RTIN STA DTFELDJA N VO GLER

Music has been part of Schloss Elmau since the beginning: In our first year – 1916 – Schubert‘s String Quintet was performed at Christmas, and nearly 100 concerts were perfor-med in our concert hall which was built expressly for purpose of music. In the 1930s, a Week of Chamber Music was introduced, which since 1957 has been held annually in Janu-ary ever since. This festival was first curated by Benjamin Britten and the Amadeus Quartet as the “British- German Music Days,” then later as the (Elmau) Music Festival, and finally as the Chamber Music week, which we celebrate to this day.

Artists who have for years made the cultural program at Schloss Elmau what it is already celebrated “100 Years of Schloss Elmau” with us around the easter holidays.

DA NIIL TRIFO N OV

Since his Elmau debut during the Verbier Festival @ Schloss Elmau in December 2012 – one of the young pianist’s first concerts in Germany after winning first prize mat the 2011 Tchaikovsky Competition – Trifonov’s career has been skyrocketing ever since. We are thus all the more delighted to be welcoming him to Elmau for the third time as part of our “100 Years of Schloss Elmau” celebrations.

In 2015 Schloss Elmau hosted some 200 cultural events, classical concerts, jazz concerts and literary events – despite prolonged concert-free periods. More than 500 artists performed,read, recited and discussed on our stages du-ring the course of the year. By the end of 2016, there will have been again more than 200 events with guest performan-ces by approximately 270 artists during the first half of the year.

Luxurious recording studio: One of our hotel rooms was spontaneously changed into a studio when German jazz trumpe-ter Till Bronner recorded the song “Stand by me” with Gregory Porter, who was guesting in Schloss Elmau at the time.

Menuhin‘s birthday: the world-famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin would be cele-brating his 100th birthday this year. He performed in Schloss Elmau’s chamber music week several times since the 1960s.

Ach!“: German humorist Loriot wrote numerous sketches and stories while staying in Schloss Elmau, as for examp-le the famous “bathtub scene” (which is set in a hotel bathroom).

At Schloss Elmau, artists can choose from six concert grands. Five of them are by Steinway & Sons. The oldest was inaugurated on Sep 10, 1987 and is affec-tionately known as the “Gulda Grand,” as the pianist Friedrich Gulda favored this instrument during his numerous stays at Schloss Elmau. Our main concert grand was selected for Schloss Elmau by Martin Stadtfeld, while the youngest grand, a B-Steinway for the new Schloss Elmau Retreat, was chosen by Martha Argerich.
