In his last string quartet Op. 135, Beethoven asked: „Must it be?“ And he answered: „It must!“ The Society of Friends of the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn (Gesellschaft der Freunde des Beethoven Orchesters Bonn) considers this response as Beethoven’s enthusiastic proclamation for the orchestra of his birthplace. For the friends of this orchestra it is a truly classical proclamation. For beyond the audible and visible advantages of this ensemble and its highly dedicated and inspiring General Music Director Dirk Kaftan, there is nothing but heartfelt sympathy to the rescue. Let yourself be infected by this sympathy and help in the effort to support this orchestra, for example, in outstanding individual projects or concert and musical youth education. Become a Friend of the Orchestra and find good friends in a circle of music enthusiasts. You can become a member for an annual subscription of €50.00 and, among other things, have the opportunity to visit our “NachKlänge” (Moderated artist talks) and selected rehearsals of concerts and operas.
