●Beijing Music Festival Holds Concerts to Celebrate5 Beethoven

○北京音乐节举行音乐会纪念贝多芬

A series of concerts are being on at the Poly Theater to mark the 250th anniversary of Beethovens birth during the Beijing Music Festival （BMF）.

According to Zou Shuang， the artistic6 director of BMF， she staged all three concerts with 10 young musicians born after 1990， the youngest， 15 years old， at a time when most music festivals have been put off or canceled7 due to the COVID-19. It  adds8 to the meaning of the music festival. “It is time to allow the world to see Chinas new music power9，” she said.

保利剧院在北京音乐节（BMF）期间举行了一系列音乐会，纪念贝多芬诞辰250周年。

据BMF艺术总监邹爽（音）介绍，在新冠疫情导致大部分音乐节延期或取消的时候，她与1990年后出生的十位年轻音乐家共同举办了三场音乐会，年龄最小的15岁，这也让音乐节更有意义。她说：“现在是时候让世界见证中国的音乐新生力量了。”
