but 1st the western german city of boston is the high much home town of lewd fig. he was born in $1717.00 and spent the 1st 22 years busy life in the city next year it is a very special. bond as it's the 250th anniversary of the great man's birth and there's lots going on that every year there's a beethoven fest about beethoven 2020 is much more than that indeed the whole year is so packed with all sorts of events that celebrations have spilled over into this year kind of already on the way. now friday so all the opening of a special walking tour in and around featuring all the important places where beit have malls on the line from the burka the artistic director the entire beethoven

2020 year welcome to the program 1st of all beethoven 2020 gets underway officially at the end of this year and of course stretches of the whole of next year the 1st visible project is this walking sort tour so 1st of all that could you tell us a little bit about that. of course thank you we believe in bonn that you can't get very close to be too often here it's beethoven's birthplace and you can follow the footsteps that the young beethoven took in bonn and today we launched. a kind of city wark along the sides related to be it's often linked to be too often and on each of these sides you'll find information panels that explain this pacific link and this is very important for bond to position itself as the beatles and city. yeah actually his 3 if i may say so has been a bit unkind to bomb he was born there and spent the 1st 22 years of his life to

have a very formative years of his life but he's always associated with vet of vienna so is beethoven 2020 kind of trying to redress the balance a bit. well we don't intend this to rewrite history of course the time that he spent in vienna was very important and he composed all the big works in vienna but you're right the 1st 22 years were very formative for him to grow up to develop. him self as a musician and as a personality and we believe that it is good to focus not only on the old steph grimm itself but also on the young composer aspired to change something he was a kind of game changer and it's very interesting to deep into the early years when he experienced the french revolution for instance 7989 in bonn and all the context

around it. can you give us a taste of the year i know there are literally hundreds of events going on but perhaps you could tell us about a few of the highlights that you already know that. yes it's a big cultural festival with more than $300.00 projects. they're all. related to bond or in the region of bond and the main idea that it's all ties together is that we offer and invite new approaches to discover be too often and you so it's more than just concepts there are many exhibitions going on the central exhibition of the anniversary year will be at the national gallery which is based in bonn. and we will have we will have conferences open air cons and new films that will be shown on cinema so really it's it's a very colorful culture of festival throughout the year and it's worth coming to

bonn throughout the full full festival. i just want to mention the website actually on your lapel it's all must see it because the website is beethoven 2020 that's beethoven with the vowels. bt yes i've got it right this is actually a story behind this very briefly if you could tell almost invented this logo yes he was a very visionary guy and i think he did. what people today in the times of twitter and s.m.s. like to do is skipping out the world to get short texts indeed he signed his own autographs. like this we don't know whether it was just for work efficiency but once you realise that it's for beethoven you would always recognise it again and. we thought for a logo of this year this is just very suitable and it gives an impression of the

unusual personality that he was my back and thank you for that we all look forward to next year we'll be down in bonn and anybody listening from around the world hopefully they'll come to bonn at some point in the thank you very much thank you so much. i know another great classical composer you have his brown's the brahms code is a new film made by our very own award winning director christiane bagga this new film examines brahms symphonies through the eyes of orchestra members of the deutsche a come a philip monique braman and their conduct a boy yardie by the way he's just been named conductor of the year by germany's leading classic awards opus classic anyway i have to say it's a wonderful film i really say that that shows how much thought and hard work goes into the preparation of a concert is a taste. exploring

symphonies of yohannes bronze with conductor path and the deutsch a camera feel how many praying and i. at the premiere of the documentary the brahms code maestro yes he has high hopes and expectations for the film. challenge of the film is to present wrapped in a way that people find intriguing and new found hope for. possibility for. the brahms code is torchbearers 3rd collaboration of its kind with the orchestra under the conductor. through the hi fi in the camera philharmonia braman is very exciting because they have a different approach to the question as to how culture can still be economically

viable i think it's great they're so successful it isn't therefore cried. together with the door to come a film money braman has been at the top of the game for the past 15 years that success is based in part on the orchestras emphasis on the individual artist to have a collective approach to financial as well as artistic management. the documentary casts a spotlight on the individual musicians. and their relationship to the music of proms.

last year. you could you call him. and. himself and. it also looks at the working relationship with the maestro himself. he has worked as hard at learning how to conduct conveying to us what he wants with his bodily movements as musicians of work to learn to play the violin or the talent or the clarinet. i have worked with quite a few conductors been very lucky to have worked with some of the world's great conductors and i'm entirely sure that harvard who is amongst

the great conductors is viennese horses you know the show horses they're incredibly elegant they have this thing and that white white and all the sort of stepping. that's just me the but whatever it is these young. if we're going to feel that of beads. and dancers they got 2. horses. the brahms coda offers a personal insight into the world of the torture come a film how money. and brings us closer to one of the great composers of the 19th century yohannes brahms. the bronze code can be seen this weekend on d.w.

and afterwards on our website at www dot com. exactly 100 years ago the 1st time women were allowed to study the arctic out of me an exhibition called battle for visibility women artists of the national gallery before 919 looks at female painters and sculptors who against all odds pursued an artistic career before that. something exceptional about this painting shows kaiser wilhelm the 2nd in the man of the important men like to be seen in but was painted by a woman. he painted high society portrayed a rare female artist who made it. despite the incredible fame she enjoyed at the time her fortunes faltered when salon painting went out of fashion today hardly anyone knows the name. to know. this painting is by power do you know les maya time has forgotten her too it's the only known painting by the artist

even the dates of her death is unknown women were seldom permitted to study art female artists in the 19th century faced numerous obstacles women could be creative but only in a subsidiary way they couldn't be independently creative so they were effectively shut out of the highest forms of art the place was considered to be in arts and crafts. power morrison bacco was not content with this she left the confines of conservative germany and went to study in paris the painter of mary magdalene a had to go to brussels to study the arts of nude life drawing forgotten works by forgotten artists this exhibition brings them back into the spotlight. that's about it for today but finally at this time of year. lights up courtesy of various liked festivals and the 1st one on the way so i leave you with pictures
