The Beethoven Anniversary Year under the patronage of the president of the Federal Republic of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The BTHVN2020 Database contains all the events that take place within the framework of the anniversary year. As Beethoven's anniversary year is designed by various actors, ticket sales start individually by each organizer. 

In January 2020, the Beethoven Orchester Bonn is giving a special concert with Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto and his Fifth Symphony. Gerhard Oppitz will be the pianist.

Another BTHVN2020 highlight is now available for ticket sale: The world premiere of Tan Dun's 'The Nine Project' with the National Youth Orchestra of Germany and the World Youth Choir.
