Beethoven's 32 sonatas form the cornerstone of any pianist's repertoire in any country where the instrument is played. This makes them a particularly suitable choice for the Vienna Music Festival in Hong Kong, where a group of renowned pianists from different backgrounds will play all of the sonatas in two days in Vienna and Hong Kong.
The Vienna Music Festival in Hong Kong is a great opportunity for musicians from Austria and Hong Kong to exchange ideas and experiences. This year, as the highlight of the Vienna Music Festival in Hong Kong, the Vienna Boys Choir Music Academy Foundation is organizing a piano sonata marathon to honor Ludwig van Beethoven's contribution to global musical development. 9 pianists from Austria and Hong Kong will play Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas in a 12-hour non-stop marathon from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
