Rediscover music with a young and creative crowd.
Young Friends

Is Beethoven only for old, austere classical music fans? Not with us! The Young Friends of Beethovenfest Bonn is a community for anyone who enjoys good music, meeting new people, and having special experiences. Yes, Beethoven is our namesake, but this is not about dusty concert halls. It is a place where classical music meets the present, boundaries blur, and new ideas flourish.
Music lovers often seek out like-minded individuals with whom they can share their passion. The Young Friends offer exactly that: an open community that is curious, lively and diverse. All forms of music are welcome here, from classical symphonies and contemporary jazz to electronic beats and cross-genre experiments. Together, we attend concerts and festivals, experience culture first-hand and discover formats that breathe new life into the cultural scene.
However, the Young Friends’ Circle is more than just a platform for music. It is a place for encounters, exchange and friendships. In a relaxed atmosphere, new contacts, conversations and creative projects emerge. This way, music is not only heard, but experienced as a shared activity that transcends the concert hall and influences culture in Bonn. As a Young Friend, you will gain backstage insights into the Beethovenfest, learn how an international festival is organised, and get to know artists. You can also contribute your own ideas.
- Circle of Friends – only for die-hard classical music fans?
- Are cultural associations elitist and stuffy?
- A compulsory programme that is not much fun?
- You don’t have time for that?
The Young Friends of Beethovenfest Bonn offer the best of both worlds, combining the tradition and charisma of a major festival with the openness and energy of a young community. Join the Friends and experience culture from the inside, right in the middle of it!
Join us and rediscover Beethoven – young, creative and united.
