In Bonn no Beethovenfest without Beethovenfest no Bonn: director Nike Wagner in the opening matinee of the festival on Saturday in the auditorium of the University and the audience, so the whole city to “B” contain. From Bernward Althoff
Bonn .
Usually, right before the start of an orchestra concert to concert pitch A a. Not so the new Beethovenfest-director Nike Wagner, on Saturday in the auditorium of the University and the audience, so the whole city to “B” joined in the opening matinee of the festival. Logically, with “A” can be seen in Bonn little if anything with (Konrad A denauer perhaps excepted), but rather with “B”. The letter stands for “Beethoven” as for “Bonn”, and both want the great-granddaughter of Richard Wagner future more closely linked – without no Bonn Beethoven Festival, without Beethovenfest no Bonn. Or not? In their sovereign presented speech that already had the quality of an essay in sections, made the director and Bonner New citizen of the Federal City courage not to hide in a Beethoven niche. “Bonn, with all due respect, there might be more than ‘just’ Beethoven, it illuminates some sectors and segments of public life.”
This includes Nike Wagner expanding as a science city, with ‘ll pursued the recently adopted strategy paper of city and university or the settlement of the German DAX companies Telekom and German Post / DHL and last but not least the rank of Bonn as the UN site. “This is more than a consolation prize, the rest of the country combined with Bonn earlier black-and-white television and the worry lines of Konrad Adenauer” Nike Wagner did not forget in their enumeration of the qualities of the “new” Bonn’s also the merits of citizen initiatives for the Maintaining and increasing the cultural venue Bonn as the “Citizens for Beethoven”, with the “Beethoven Marathon” the city of Bonn, freed from the embarrassment of a failed Beethovenfest 1995.

The director makes also thinking about the commercialization of cultural life and their presentation. “Art is not making no money, where it is supposed to come from? The less the public sector can distribute it or want to – would be correct, invest ‘- the more we move to the American conditions to be the greater the dependencies of the art of the private sector and thus also of the changing global economic conjunctures, of which – turn – the private sector depends “
director Nike Wagner delivered a sovereign “Tour d’Horizon” on Bonn and Beethoven.
Nike Wagner ignores the new role of private sector on the sector of art in any way. “Patrons, donors and sponsors meet today what once was for the aristocracy or the churches.” But the private sector they could not even impose the “aesthetic education of mankind,” as it made the middle of the 19th century, the task had. And what can the Bonn music audience expect from future Beethovenfest? Nike Wagner plans no means a complete reorganization of the festival. She wants to link the towering figure Ludwig van Beethoven with more contemporary music and highlight the “Revolutionary” Beethoven stronger. “Den, Titans’ Beethoven there is no longer, the revolutionary and human rights but it has more than ever deserves to be brought to the fore. We will build new monuments Beethoven, no bronze, of course, no neo / pseudo-provocative à la Liipertz, but thoughtfully-Mäler with dramatically sharpened programs in dialogue with the work of this overwhelming creative composer Beethoven. “
A first approach provided the soundtrack for the opening Matinee: The Beethoven Orchestra played two original approaches of two contemporary composers Beethoven: Reiner Brede Meyer and Dieter Schnebel. In particular, the processing of the first sentence of the “Symphony of Fate” by Schnebel let the “Titans as” forgotten. Instead of thick plate, two marimbas, rustling plastic bags and a tin wind machine were used. Gell, Ludwig, as staunste?
