Description
How did Europe sound a hundred years ago? The Beethoven Orchester Bonn goes on a voyage of discovery together with the concert designer and Beethovenfest fellow 2023 Iñigo Giner Miranda – not just musically, but also in archives and newspapers. Fragile democracies, political and cultural revolutions, world war shock and new beginnings: A simmering time with striking parallels to the present day which comes alive again in this collage of historical documents and sound.
