Concert Description
Classical music for kids: the arrival of an eccentric boarder turns a young boy's home upside-down. Ludwig van Beethoven has moved in upstairs! Richly set in 19th century Vienna, Beethoven Lives Upstairs is a touching tale of music, friendship and genius. Based in part on historical fact, Beethoven Lives Upstairs features more than twenty-five beautifully performed excerpts of Beethoven's best-loved works.
