About the Fellowship Programme
In 2023, Beethovenfest Bonn launched an extensive sponsorship project for innovative young artists who blaze new trails of classical music: The Fellowship Programme spanning 5 years was brought into being with financial assistance from the state of North-Rhine Westphalia and the city of Bonn. The Beethoven-Haus Bonn and the Beethoven Orchester Bonn are project partners.
