Music & Politics in Schloss Elmau:
“The New World Order”
Ivan Krastev and Vikram Rajan
When the changes in the world become too swift and confusing, art opens alternative avenues for grasping the unspeakable. In this one of its kind evening program, we appeal to the political analysis of the leading European thinker Ivan Krastev to help us make sense of the new world order that is swiftly imposed upon us all since 20.1.2025, while reminding ourselves that the times when some of the great music works were written, were not so much unlike the times we live through now.
