OREANDA-NEWS. September 12, 2014. Deutsche Post DHL, the world’s leading postal and logistics company, will provide a diverse program of 26 events in its Post Tower Lounge for the Beethovenfest in 2014, in addition to its overall financial support of the festival.

With this sophisticated complimentary program, DPDHL hopes to encourage visitors to embrace classical music in all its diversity. The 2014 program is based on a successful pilot program in 2013 and will be rounded off with events dedicated to “Kids and Classicism” (Kinder und Klassik).

“Our cultural offer is geared toward lovers of classical music and is free of charge, as is the case every year,” said Christof Ehrhart, Head of Corporate Communications and Responsibility at Deutsche Post DHL. “We also hope to create new enthusiasts out of those who are not yet fans of the classical tradition. That is why we are particularly pleased to be able to offer additional events for our young guests, so that they can not only experience classical music but also actively help to create it.”

The 26 events at the Post Tower Lounge will run from September 7 until October 3 of this year and will cover a wide spectrum of different musical styles. Deutsche Post DHL would like to extend an open invitation to its jazz matinees held every Sunday just outside the Post Tower. This year, the program also includes public readings from the texts by Shakespeare, Schiller, Cobain or Beethoven, with musical accompaniment. In addition, there will be a diverse range of chamber music events as well as performances by “Junge Buhne”, which primarily spotlights the musical talent of the next generation. The “Kids and Classicism” events will be held on two afternoons. Children can experience either the puppet artistry of “Peter and the Wolf” performed by Petra Schuff or the German Sockenkonzert “Baroque Beasts” (Tierisch Barock) from the ensemble Nel Dolce. The program is topped off with evenings of French songs, special events dedicated to “music & conversation” and an evening with the musicians of Bonn’s Silent Movie Festival. Seating is limited and prior reservations are recommended. You can make them by telephone at 0228-502010 or by sending an e-mail to www.bonnticket.de .
