Beethoven 250
About Beethoven Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in December 1770, making this year the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. Musicians and orchestras around the world are celebrating this jubilee year with a blockbuster line-up of Beethoven-related performances and projects, under the umbrella of BTHVN250.
Beethoven sometimes signed off his scores as ‘Bthvn’ – omitting the vowels in his name. This is where the name ‘BTHVN250’ originated from.
