Beethoven Between Power and Freedom
The musical theatre ensemble "Niko and the Navigators" and the Kussa String Quartet presented the production "Beethoven between Force and Freedom" for the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven.
For over 20 years, "Niko and the Navigators" have been one of the independent musical theatre ensembles in Europe. With their "staged concerts", which have been praised by both the press and the audience, they have developed a new approach to musical works.
"Niko and the Navigators" and the "Kussa Quartet" showed how Beethoven can be reinterpreted from a modern perspective.
