Let us treat you to a ballad told with words and sounds woven from vocal pieces and anecdotes about Ludwig Van Beethoven’s life. Each interesting fact from the composer’s biography – and there are a lot of them – will be illustrated with music both from Beethoven’s oeuvre and written by other composers. Il Canto, a vocal ensemble known for its precise and humorous performances, will paint a sound portrait of Beethoven – the creator of Ode to Joy, a restless walker, coffee lover, weirdo, and beloved guest in Viennese drawing rooms. Entranced by the sounds of this colorful ballad we might let our minds wander and dream about Ludwig paying us a friendly visit one day…
