CANCELLED: Buddha’s Wisdom

It wasn’t just goods and people that travelled the Silk Road. Buddhism also spread to many countries via this route, starting in India and crossing the Himalayas to China and Japan. The wisdom of the Buddha also reached our culture a long time ago. An inspiring evening in the Chinese teahouse on Rothenbaumchaussee explores the wisdom of Buddhist philosophy from many angles – including through Chinese music and a guided meditation.

The Elbphilharmonie’s supporting programme offers a variety of different angles on the music performed – either to complement the concert itself, or as an experience in its own right. As a rule, the Elbphilharmonie+ events are interdisciplinary in nature: exhibitions, talks to accompany a particular concert or events featuring flamenco dancing or scat singing. They take place in the Elbphilharmonie itself in some cases, as well as in museums, libraries and local culture centres.
