I'm not deaf after all!

Student concert on the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth for grades 1-6 (retrospective)

One of the most famous composers - that is, music inventors - who ever existed was Ludwig van Beethoven, who was born in Bonn a good 250 years ago. He became famous above all because he wrote really exciting music. Music that you can immerse yourself in and experience adventures with. Beethoven was a really weird guy, one who often misbehaved, and quite moody as well. Even as a young man he had problems with his ears, and after a few years he was practically deaf - and still continued to compose. Ingenious music! A composer who can't hear - how is that possible!

In the concert, we meet Beethoven at eye level and learn how music can connect people. He has even promised to bring us some of the dances and canons he composed for his best friends. To dance and sing along, of course!

 

With the Staatskapelle Weimar and members of the DNT opera choir.
