Get ready for a special evening with pianist Alexander Melnikov. The great keyboard wizard will talk about Beethoven the man, why he holds the First Piano Concerto so dear to his heart and all the beauty you can discover in it.

He will be helped by Iñigo Giner Miranda, composer, performer and concert innovator, who, for the Ruhrtriennale and Beethovenfest Bonn, among others, has developed formats that bring the music closer to the audience, and the listener right into the sound. For the Listeners Academy, he matches the energy of Beethoven’s early years and Melnikov’s passion in a lively and captivating narrative.

Live on stage, B’Rock Orchestra adds color and shade to the story with musical examples, before ensemble and soloist together let the music speak for itself. A not-to-be-missed experience for any Ludwig fanatic.
