New Year’s Concert — Beethoven 5

Beethoven is the giant among classical composers—one could almost call him the first pop star in music history, because his popularity, during his lifetime and after his death, was unique and unmatched. Born in Bonn in 1770 as the son of a musician, he revolutionized almost every area of music to which he made a compositional contribution. His tragic fate and his unbridled temperament made him an artist who broke all chains and a god for all subsequent generations of composers.
Under the direction of Juri Gilbo, the Philharmonia Frankfurt plays two of the most important works in music history: The 5th Symphony with probably the most famous motif of all musical works ever written, “ta ta ta taaaa…,” and the 5th Piano Concerto, with Basel-based pianist Irena Georgieva as the soloist. This top-class cast will perform unforgettable masterpieces!
Tickets are CHF 46.60-92.50.
