Welcome Week 2020

On December 16, 1770, Ludwig van Beethoven popped into the world, no doubt humming the first few bars of his 9 Variations on a March. This makes 2020 the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, and for the first time, the Department of Music is launching a special opportunity for new and returning students to collaborate on a unique project to commemorate this milestone and the new academic year: to record and respond to Beethoven's pioneering Piano Concertos with a brand-new work. Join us this evening for our world premiere of Beethoven Snapshots.

How can I watch it?

Our streamed event can be viewed on this page, or on our dedicated Department of Music YouTube channel (link embedded).
