International Beethoven Project
The International Beethoven Project, est. 2008 as a NFP, is on a mission to revolutionize the world of classical music.
The International Beethoven Project (IBP) is on a mission to revolutionize the world of classical music.
We're passionate about:
- Celebrating Beethoven's extraordinary music and humanist legacy.
- Exploring new ways to present and perform classical music, inspired by Beethoven's revolutionary approach to the music world in his own time.
- Showcasing the most creative musical geniuses of past and present.
Our Vision: By highlighting Beethoven's innovative spirit, we aim to inspire a new generation of music lovers, performers, and arts leaders. We're exploring cutting-edge approaches—from cool live events and educational programs to productions of films, recordings, digital media and even artificial intelligence—to bring classical music to life.
Our Impact:
- Launched "International Beethoven Day" in 2021 to create a global movement celebrating Beethoven's enduring impact and classical music in general
- Produced critically acclaimed recordings, including a groundbreaking album featuring the first-ever recording of Beethoven's Trio Hess 47.
- Created captivating music films and documentaries that offer fresh perspectives on the classics and inspire contemporary artists.
- Organized annual Beethoven birthday celebrations and multi-disciplinary festivals that unite diverse art forms and musical genres since 2010
- Pioneering explorations in web3/blockchain/metaverse/NFT and artificial intelligence dedicated to classical music.
Upcoming Projects:
- An immersive multimedia journey through Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. This ambitious project will feature recordings, films, contemporary interpretations and reinterpretations, readings of Beethoven's letters, and visual art. We'll share this experience globally and bring it directly to schools worldwide during the upcoming celebrations of the bicentennial of Beethoven's death in 2027.
- Preparing an international conference on the role and future of classical music.
- Collaborations with other organizations to cross-pollinate ideas.
