Who doesn't know the dream of peace, harmony and the fine arts, detached from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? The infinite freedom of immersion and enjoyment. The unique works of art by Uli Fischer from Berlin, James Hilton's novel “The Lost Horizon”, excerpts of which were read by Martina Walter, and the wonderfully inspiring music by Murat Parlak on the grand piano along with Magnus Dauner on the percussion instruments formed a fantastic symbiosis during the evening - a little Shangri-La in the Stadtstadel. The guests enjoyed being taken on the utopian journey to Tibet described in James Hilton's novel. They eagerly followed the content and, in particular, the passages of text that were read, through which the Tibetan legend of the mysterious place Shangri-La, located in the Himalayas, has been revealed to a Western audience for generations. These are those who for centuries have pursued the dream of a haven of peace in this world in order to be able to turn their backs on the recurring adversities of life. The two exceptional musicians accompanied the unique story with soft tones and the utmost sensitivity during the reading and then captured what they had heard in their very own compositions with powerful passages. An evening to dream and let yourself go. With standing ovations, the audience expressed its gratitude for this magnificent performance.
