Götterfunken

Social Spot

To celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th Birthday in 2020 the musicians of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin approach music with a good dose of self-irony.
The immaterial “spark of divinity” becomes a glowing co-actor to accompany them through iconic passages of Beethoven’s symphonies – right up to the grand finale of the Ninth and its “Ode to Joy”.

A contribution of the Konzerthaus Berlin to to the global project #GlobalOdeToJoy.
