What to expect
In 2027, 200 years after Beethoven's death, the concert is part of Beethoven27, a three-year tour of 27 Beethoven works in 27 European countries.
Jan Caeyers conducts the Fourth Piano Concerto and Fifth Symphony, both premiered at the Akademie of 22 December 1808, a high point of Beethoven's Vienna career.
The Fourth Piano Concerto is lyrical, poetic and contemplative, while the Fifth Symphony is dramatic, high-energy and ecstatic.
Kit Armstrong opens the evening with a Bach Prelude and Fugue.
On Friday 22 January, Jan Caeyers and Rik Van Cauwelaert give a lecture about Beethoven at De Bib Leuven Tweebronnen.
