Following its successful premiere, the SLOW Festival returns to Schloss Elmau in summer 2027.
ViolinistHugo Ticciati, his visionary O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra and renowned experts bring together music and mindfulness to create an intense experience of the present moment.
The immersive concerts invite audiences to experience music in entirely new ways: without a stage and surrounded by the musicians, outdoors in nature, in motion or lying down. Meditation, yoga, breathwork workshops and tea ceremonies further enrich the programme.
One of the highlights will once again be the creation of a sand mandala, meticulously crafted over several days by Buddhist monks from Tibet using the finest coloured sand.
The moment at the center: New concert formats, silence, meditation, and yoga come together to create a festival of mindful experience. Whether at a “Dinner in Silence”, the deep relaxation of a reclining concert, or a magical sunrise concert in the midst of nature; whether through yoga and meditation or traditional tea ceremonies: the festival creates spaces to consciously experience the present moment in its entirety.
