The 250 years of Beethoven, the jubilee in Bonn starts

(by Rosanna Pugliese) (ANSA) - BERLIN, 16 DEC - Eight hundred concerts at home, showing that "Beethoven is with us". Unreachable giant, yet part of our everyday life. But the music performed in the last two days between apartments, churches, breweries, rest houses, stations and yoga centers in Germany was only the prologue. Two hundred and fifty years ago, on December 16, 1770, the most played music composer in the world, Ludwigvan Beethoven, was born in Bonn. And precisely on December 16, in the former capital of the west, a jubilee year opened up, with over 700 events dedicated to this absolute myth of the classical repertoire.
"Discovering Beethoven again" is the motto that the promoters of the series of initiatives, not only German, that will end on December 17th 2020 have chosen. on the political commitment in play for this birthday. And therefore a thousand concerts, conferences, exhibitions. There is even an attempt to hear the very first symphony: completed for the occasion by some musicologists, with artificial intelligence. The result of the project (supported by Deutsche Telekom) will be presented on April 28th, again in the city of his birth. (HANDLE).
