Konrad Adenauer was born 150 years ago – for the anniversary, the Beethovenfest Talents are performing in the Chancellor’s former residence in Rhöndorf. The young artists will be spreading out in the historic building, the idyllic terrace garden with a view of the Rhine and the museum to offer a variety of chamber music. For the programme, they have taken inspiration from Adenauer’s record collection.
