The festival’s opening concert program celebrates the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. A year that should have been a Beethoven celebration turned into a year of tragedies on a global scale, but even in the darkest state of mind, the vital and affirmative force of Beethoven's music will always incite humanity to the light. Something he knew well himself: the works that we will hear in this concert are close to or contemporary to the realization of his own hearing loss. A desperation he overcame because of his conviction for music that he still needed to write.
