The Time of Beethoven: Beethoven's Septet

Description

Do you wish to go to a real concert? Starting from Friday, 5 June, we welcome audiences back to the Estonia Concert Hall! We will be sure to abide by the 2 + 2 rule in the concert hall – please make sure to read the reminders for concertgoers. Those who wish can also tune in to the live broadcasts of our concerts via ERSO TV or Klassikaraadio.

The musicians of ENSO will perform two extensive Classical chamber music pieces in two separate concerts. The pieces are penned by composers celebrating jubilees this year: 2020 marks the passing of 250 years since the birth of both Czech-French composer Antoine Reicha and German composer Ludwig van Beethoven. The paths of the Prague-born Reicha and the Bonn-native Beethoven crossed in their teenage years, when they both worked at the Bonn court orchestra: Reicha played the violin and the flute, while Beethoven played the violin and the organ.
