In 2020 it will be 250 years since Ludwig van Beethoven was born. The Concertzender will tackle this with the ambitious plan to have all works broadcast at least once during the year. Every week from Monday to Friday between 10 am and 11 am, Beethoven takes center stage!
By way of introduction, you can listen to a conversation on the idea behind this project between Pauline Verburg and Aukelien van Hoytema.
