the here in berlin has been digging in its vaults to find work by neglected female artists. but 1st the western german city of bon is the high much home town of lewd fig. he was born in 1717 and spent the 1st 22 years of his knife in the city next year is a very special beethoven it involved 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 on beethoven 2020 is much more than that indeed the whole view is so packed with all sorts of events that celebrations have spilled over into this year kind of already on the way. now friday saw the opening of a special walking tour in and around bonn featuring all the important places where

bait 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 cause thank you we believe in bonn that you can't get very close to be too often here it's between spirit plays and you can follow the footsteps that the young beethoven took in bonn and today we launched. a kind of city walk along the sides that are related to be too often linked to be too often and each of these sides you find information panels that explain this pacific link and this is very important for bond to position itself as that beethoven 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 there the very formative years of his life but he's always associated with van vienna so is beethoven 2020 kind of trying to redress the balance a bit. well we don't intend 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 1st 22 years were very formative for him to grow up to develop. selve as a musician and as a personality and we believe that it is good to focus not only on the old steph grim it's often 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 bonn or in the region of bonn and the main idea that it's all ties together is that we offer and invite. new approaches to discover beethoven and you so it's more than just concerts there are many exhibitions going on the central exhibition of the anniversary year will be at the national art 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 a it's a very colorful culture 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 almost like 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 his bait had almost invented this little guy. yes he was a very visionary guy and i think he did. what people today in the times of twitter innocent like to do is skipping out the worlds to give short texts indeed he signed his own autographs. like this we don't know whether it was just

for work efficiency but once you realize that it's for beethoven you will always recognize 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 most of america 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 year thank you very much thank you so much and now another great classical composer you have the brahms code is a new film made by a very own award winning director christiane bagga this new film examines brahms symphonies through the eyes of orchestra members of the daughter come a philip monet braman and their conductor for yardy 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 but that shows how much thought and hard work

goes into the preparation of a concert here's a taste. exploring symphonies of your house brands with conductor carter yuki and they do a check come a feel how money printing. at the premiere of the documentary the brahms code maestro you have he has high hopes and expectations for the film. well the challenge of the film is to present grow up in a way that people. find intriguing and you know. and hope for. us are very good for. the proms code is torchbearers 3rd collaboration it's kind with the orchestra under the conductor.

3 d. i find 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 there for corps. together with the do it you come a film money braman has been at the top of their 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 brahms.

my. last year. but you can you can move on and. move long as i'm tough and. it also looks that they working relationship but the maestro himself. he has works as a hard at learning how to conduct about can. saying to us what he wants with his bodily movements as musicians of work to learn to play the violin or the teller or the clarinet. i have worked with quite a few conduct who's 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 this viennese horses you know the show horses they're incredibly elegant they have this thing on and that way they're wiping all the sort of stepping yeah. but that's that's just me. but whatever it is these young. if we're going to feel that of b.c. you. think. horses. love. the proms code offers a personal insight into the world of the camera film how money trainmen under-powered. 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 the w. dot com exactly 100 years ago the 1st time women were allowed to study at the bird in arctic cademy an exhibition called battle for visibility women artists of the national gallery before $919.00 looks at female painters and sculptors who against all odds pursued an artistic career before that. there's something exceptional about this painting it shows carville him the 2nd in the manner that important men like to be seen in was painted by a woman film a pollicie 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
