In 2020 we celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. Musicatreize is associated with this event naturally, but as is its habit, in an unconventional way. We are asking 12 composers, several of whom are German, to write twelve ‘Letters for Elise’ for one to twelve voices with piano (or accordion).
Some of Beethoven’s piano works are played throughout the performance…
