Every year in the autumn, between the end of August and the beginning of October, Beethoven’s native city of Bonn celebrates the Beethovenfest, welcoming top international orchestras, well-know soloists, major ensembles and promising young performers. The Beethovenfest Bonn has existed in its modern form, namely an annual four-week festival in the late summer / early autumn, since 1999.
The venues of the Beethovenfest Bonn are highly varied, each being specially chosen as the ideal forum for the programme in question: visitors have the opportunity to experience concerts not only in concert-halls such as the Beethovenhalle Bonn and the chamber-music hall of the Beethoven-Haus, but also in churches (e.g. St. Evergislus in Bornheim), museums (Kunstmuseum, Bundeskunsthalle, Haus der Geschichte), former parliament buildings (Altes Wasserwerk), sites where political history has been made (Palais Schaumburg, Grandhotel on the Petersberg), industrial heritage sites (Dransdorf tram depot) and modern corporate forums (T-Mobile Forum, Bonn branch of the KfW bank group).
Among many events this year is Kurt Masur’s concert with Orchestre National de France playing Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 broadcasted live to a huge screen at Bonn market.
