Live Concert: Beethoven, Schütz and Georgian Composers at the Beethovenfest Bonn

Experience an extraordinary evening of classical music featuring works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Heinrich Schütz, and contemporary Georgian composers, live from the Beethovenhalle Bonn. As part of the Beethovenfest Bonn Campus Project 2026, outstanding young musicians from Germany and Georgia come together in a unique celebration of cultural dialogue, artistic exchange, and musical innovation. Placing Georgia in the cultural spotlight, this special concert connects Beethoven's enduring legacy with the vibrant voice of Georgian musical modernism. Performed by leading young artists from both countries, the program culminates in a world premiere by acclaimed pianist and composer Tsotne Zedginidze, whom violinist Lisa Batiashvili has described as a “once-in-a-generation talent.” Through creativity, openness, and international collaboration, the Beethovenfest Bonn Campus Project demonstrates how music can build bridges across borders, generations, and cultures.
