Five for Munich: lull after the Oscar – Munich

Rattle travels

Bringing people together through music is Sir Simon Rattle a matter of the heart. To achieve this, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and its new, charismatic chief conductor are also taking unconventional paths and leaving the concert hall. This season, the ensemble will visit institutions and initiatives throughout Bavaria in small ensembles – from duos to octets – and give exclusive chamber concerts there. In the nursing home, in the hospital, in the soup kitchen or in a refugee facility, at the neighborhood help center or in the volunteer fire department’s clubhouse – wherever people volunteer to help others, the musicians present their programs. Anyone who wants to apply for one of these classical concerts (and has suitable rooms for it) must fill out an online form at br-klasseik.de/brso75. Concert confirmations are getting louder Bavarian Radio raffled off on the radio program between February 26th and March 8th.

Hipster is looking

Professionally has Ernestine Hipper achieved everything: A year ago, the film set designer was able to accept an Oscar for her work on the literary adaptation of “Nothing New in the West”. Together with her teammate Christian M. Goldbeck, she stood on the Olympus of international film events. The golden companion still occupies an important place in Hipper’s life, but where the statue will stand in the future is currently unclear. The Oscar winner is faced with a problem that affects many people and overshadows their everyday life: She is looking for a new apartment in Munich. She recently revealed this in a Bavarian Radio broadcast and didn’t seem nearly as cheerful as she did a year ago. The coveted award is a blessing and a curse, she says in the article. There is also currently a lack of new orders. She has no problem accepting even smaller jobs. The 61-year-old fears that the Oscar will unsettle producers and directors. Since Hipper has been in the film business for a long time, she knows the ups and downs of being a freelancer.

Hipper grew up in a village near Schrobenhausen and moved to Nuremberg with her family as a teenager. She moved to the Isar for the first time to train at the fashion master school. She has also lived in Berlin and repeatedly abroad. But Hipper regularly returned to Munich because she loved – almost everything – here, from the mentality to the Augustinian, as she confessed in an SZ interview last year. Now they finally want to put down roots here – they and their Oscar.

Ball fights

Is our working world fit for the future? The author and manager Elly Oldenbourg thinks there is still plenty of room for improvement. In her book “Workshift – Why we have to work differently today to save our tomorrow” she explains how companies can respond to a shortage of skilled workers, climate change and the revolution in artificial intelligence with more flexibility. In conversation with Janina Kugel On Tuesday, February 27th, at Literatur Moths, she will discuss how large companies could become more diverse, more humane, more sustainable and therefore more future-proof. Both women have extensive experience in international companies.

Oldenbourg, half Greek, half Bavarian, as she puts it herself, and now lives in Hamburg, was a manager, most recently at Google for many years. Today she is a speaker, host of a philosophical salon and ambassador for the #GermanDream educational initiative. Janina Kugel was Human Resources Director at Siemens. She left voluntarily four years ago and also wrote a book about more flexible working models and balancing children and a career. Today she is a senior advisor for the Boston Consulting Group and serves on several supervisory boards. Together with prominent colleagues, she campaigned for a quota for women in stock market-oriented companies, which the Bundestag introduced in 2021. However, it has not yet been fulfilled.

Both authors are convinced that every single manager and every single employee can make a contribution to changing the leadership culture in their companies and thus “making lives richer, democracies more resilient and the planet healthier.” The conversation begins at 7:30 p.m., Rumfordstrasse 48, register by email at [email protected] or by phone at: 089-2916 1326.
