The Beethoven Festival in Beaune is a highly anticipated event for lovers of chamber music, set in the charming town of Beaune, Burgundy. The festival was created in 2018 by Sung-Won Yang, cellist and artistic director, in collaboration with Frédéric Mugnier from Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, a music lover who has contributed significantly to the musical culture in Burgundy by organizing a music festival in Beaune. The festival aims to bring together audiences and musicians in a warm and intimate atmosphere. The festival's fifth edition, Deep Root, will take place from April 20 to 23, 2023, and will feature exceptional international artists.
This year's festival theme, Deep Root, invites the audience to explore the rhizomes of music, that deep connection between music, wine, and vineyards. The festival will showcase the works of four historical figures who left their mark on our civilization: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert. These composers continue to inspire musicians, writers, philosophers, and politicians alike.
