Beethoven, Bonn & the Road to Vienna

Academy Travel is proud to sponsor the Friends of Hazelhurst Regional Gallery’s Artz Talk 2019 program.

This October sees Academy Travel tour leader and classical music specialist Dr Tom Ford speaking on the life of Beethoven.

Beethoven, Bonn & the Road to Vienna
Ludwig van Beethoven lived the majority of his life in Vienna – the musical and cultural capital of the 18th century. However, studying his early life in Bonn and Cologne is just as important and illuminating in order to understand his musical foundations and the genius he would become. Join Dr Tom Ford as he explores Beethoven’s early musical influences and the impact they made on him on the lead up to his 250th Anniversary.
