Description
Beethovenfest Bonn is returning »Home« to the Beethovenhalle! The London Symphony Orchestra opens the festival with a double overture: Beethoven’s inaugural music for a Viennese theatre from 1822 meets Stefan Behrisch’s newly commissioned work – a fanfare for the magnificent Klais Organ and fourteen trumpeters on all tiers of the hall. The topclass London orchestra will then showcase its brilliance with Bruckner’s last symphony.
Come and celebrate with us – after the concert in the Festival Salon with the Momi Maiga Quartet.
