When Ludwig van Beethoven composed his famous “Sinfonia eroica”, he was already suffering from progressive hearing loss. Artistically, he defied his illness, but it isolated him more and more socially. Taking this as a starting point, the National Youth Orchestra of Germany and students from the Education and Counselling Centre for the Hearing Impaired in Stegen will focus on the theme of hearing in this concert: with which senses do we experience music? In addition to the “Eroica”, the orchestra will perform works by Brett Dean, Mark Barden and Bernhard Wulff, which were written with and for the hearing-impaired – an impressive concert experience for both the hearing and those with impaired hearing.
