Looking back on 2023

»The socio-political mottos of the last two festivals, diversity and sustainability: these are not projects that we are working through so that we no longer have to be diverse or sustainable afterwards. Instead, we want to keep these topics fundamentally on our radar.« –Steven Walter

From #babygate to sustainability: 2023 was an exciting Beethovenfest, peppered with big topics. Together with Head of Communications Philipp Seliger, Artistic Director Steven Walter looks back on the past year, recounts beautiful and curious festival moments and provides an outlook for 2024.
