Le Concert Olympique

Le Concert Olympique / Kit Armstrong / Jan Caeyers

After the opening tour of their »Beethoven 27« project in November 2024, Jan Caeyers and the orchestra he founded, Le Concert Olympique, will return to the Elbphilharmonie together with Kit Armstrong. Jan Caeyers, a recognised Beethoven specialist, has set himself a special goal with the »Beethoven 27« project, which will run for several years: With 27 works from the pen of the great composer, he wants to build bridges to the 27 member states of the European Union. In the second concert programme of this European Beethoven road trip, which will lead through the composer’s entire oeuvre in stages until the 200th anniversary of his death in 2027, three works written almost simultaneously will be performed. With the Third Symphony, known as the »Eroica«, and the Triple Concerto, Beethoven broke new ground in many respects during his so-called »heroic phase« – the final movement of the Eroica alone is ground-breaking with its combination of sonata form, variations and fugue techniques.
