- Duo Tal und Groethuysen
- Yaara Tal, piano
- Andreas Groethuysen, piano
The career of the legendary piano duo Tal and Groethuysen, who never cease to surprise with unusual concert projects, began 40 years ago in Bonn - reason enough to celebrate their stage anniversary here with a reminiscence of the programme from back then in the first part and a new programme in the second half!
The current book 'Duo Tal & Groethuysen – Seiltänze mit zwanzig Fingern' by Michaela Fridrich is available in the Beethoven Haus shop to accompany the concert.
- Franz Schubert, Allegro a-Moll D 947 "Lebensstürme" für Klavier zu vier Händen

Verlegung vom 05.11
- Fabian Müller, piano
Fabian Müller will make up for the concert on 24 September 2024 at the Beethoven House, which he had to cancel due to illness, with an identical programme. This will conclude his eight-part concert series at the 2024 and 2025 festivals, featuring all 32 of Beethoven's piano sonatas.
In this concert, the lyrical early works of the Fourth and Ninth Piano Sonatas are juxtaposed with the philosophical dimensions of the last Piano Sonata No. 32 – once again, the astonishing range of expression in Beethoven's piano music can be experienced.
Fabian Müller not only finds his own approach to Beethoven's cosmos, but also responds to the multifaceted music as a composer: he precedes each sonata with a bagatelle that comments on it, introduces it, and goes against the grain.
- Fabian Müller, Bagatelles (world premieres, preceding each sonata)
- Ludwig van Beethoven, Klaviersonate Nr. 9 E-Dur op. 14/1
- Ludwig van Beethoven, Klaviersonate Nr. 4 Es-Dur op. 7
- Ludwig van Beethoven, Klaviersonate Nr. 22 F-Dur op. 54
- Ludwig van Beethoven, Klaviersonate Nr. 32 c-Moll op. 111
'It was dark, the moon was shining brightly…' With a new programme, we are once again haunting the Beethoven-Haus – in the dark, of course, and equipped only with a torch, searching for shadows and sounds from Beethoven's time.
Participation fee: €17, sibling discount available.
Registration required at museum@beethoven.de
- Maria Baptist, piano
The pianist and composer Maria Baptist is a crossover artist between musical worlds. Her music fuses jazz and classical music to create a new sound experience. She has presented her award-winning works on the world's major stages - from the Berlin Philharmonie to the Elbphilharmonie, from New York to Hong Kong - and documented them on 17 albums. Acclaimed by the press as ‘masterful’ and 'virtuoso' for her solo piano recitals, Maria Baptist designs her concerts as a flowing, dramaturgically thought-out process in which composition and improvisation seamlessly intertwine. Each concert thus becomes a unique, constantly changing sound space. With 'The Solo Works', Maria Baptist unfolds a musical narrative in which new works and selected pieces from her repertoire are organically combined - including her piano cycle 'Hopes & Fears', which was nominated for the German Record Critics' Award.

- Aljoscha Zimmermann Ensemble
- Sabrina Zimmermann, violine
- Mark Pogolski, piano
The wild snowy landscapes that Ernst Lubitsch creates on the screen are the realm of the expressive robber's daughter in the form of the famous Pola Negri, and contrast with the ornate interiors that are home to the officer with whom she falls in love. The film's special charm lies in this alternation between tricky exterior shots and chamber-like interiors. As a grotesque, the film pokes fun at everything military.
In co-operation with the Förderverein Filmkultur Bonn e.V.
- Ernst Lubitsch, Die Bergkatze, DE 1921
What have you always wanted to know about Beethoven?

A magical Christmas with Italian tenors!
Italy has never been so close! If you long for atmospheric Christmas sounds, southern warmth and the incomparable magic of la dolce vita, this special Christmas concert is just the thing for you.
The three singers Francesco Malafronte, Cosimo D'Ambrosio and Antonio Palumbo enchant with their unique voices and are accompanied by pianist Angelo Gallone. Together, they take their audience on a musical journey full of Italian passion and festive spirit. The programme combines the most beautiful classic Christmas carols, great Italian opera arias, Neapolitan folk tunes and unforgettable international evergreens. The secret of the trio's success: Italian temperament, a pinch of nostalgia and an indispensable touch of romance – perfectly matched to the most wonderful time of the year.
A cultural highlight for everyone who loves music, joie de vivre and the special magic of the Christmas season.

- Anke Helfrich Trio
- Anke Helfrich, piano
- Dietmar Fuhr, bass
- Jens Düppe, percussion
Anke Helfrich is one of the most outstanding jazz musicians in Europe. Her list of awards and the prominent names she has played with speak for themselves. She has long since developed her own style, which is characterised by musicality, sensuality of sound, swinging virtuosity and the ability to listen. She fuses music and attitude into highly interesting projects, as in her current programme ‘WE'LL RISE’. This is about visualising inspiring women and forgotten pioneers. Anke Helfrich has been playing with her excellent trio for years. Bassist Dietmar Fuhr has played with countless jazz stars at home and abroad, has his own quartet and is a lecturer at several universities. Drummer Jens Düppe is also in great demand on the scene and tours with international formations.
The day after the awards ceremony, the three finalists will have the opportunity to bid farewell to the audience in a relaxed atmosphere, free from the pressure of competition. In this informal setting, they will not only meet their listeners for what is likely to be the last time for the time being, but also each other.

- Hamburg Stage Ensemble
- Arsen Zorayan, violin and conductor
Few works enjoy such popularity as Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons'. The artistic skills that the soloist can demonstrate, in harmony with Vivaldi's pictorial musical language, reflect the natural events, weather phenomena and moods of the individual seasons throughout the year. Composed around 300 years ago, much has certainly changed - not least as a result of climate change. Astor Piazzolla, founder of the ‘Tango nuevo’ and one of South America's most important composers, focuses on people's lives in his version of the seasons, the ‘Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas’ (the ‘Four Seasons of Buenos Aires’).
The Hamburg Stage Ensemble is made up of young, highly qualified instrumentalists who together pursue the vision of not only playing music, but also communicating it. The joy of playing together takes centre stage. The small ensemble and the conscious decision not to have a conductor means that the audience can participate directly in the concert.
