Deutsche Post DHL Group will be helping again this year to ensure that the upcoming Beethovenfest is a success with the public by providing financial support and hosting a diverse concert program in the Post Tower Lounge. The 29 events being held from September 6 to October 4 cover a broad range of musical styles. For instance, Deutsche Post DHL is once again extending an open invitation to jazz matinees every Sunday in the Post Tower. The program also includes a variety of chamber music events and performances by the "Junge Bühne" (Young Persons' Stage) plus Classics for Kids events where talented young musicians take center stage and youngsters who like classical music will get what they are looking for. As in years past, Deutsche Post DHL Group is also supporting the concerts for the open air event "Bühne frei für Beethoven" (Clear the Stage for Beethoven) on the first weekend of the Beethovenfest.

The support Deutsche Post DHL Group provides for this major cultural event focuses on promoting talented young individuals and offering activities that will appeal to culture fans who are not regular concert-goers. "In addition to targeting music lovers, our events are aimed at those individuals who want to become music enthusiasts. By continuing our many years' support for the Beethovenfest as its primary sponsor, we are sending a clear message about our ongoing commitment to culture and education in Bonn, which is home to Deutsche Post DHL Group headquarters", says Christof Ehrhart, Executive Vice President Corporate Communications and Corporate Responsibility at Deutsche Post DHL Group.

Highlight: concert by the Gewandhaus Quartet from Leipzig

As a particular highlight, Deutsche Post DHL Group offers a special concert by the Gewandhaus Quartet from Leipzig on September 21. DHL has been the Gewandhaus Orchestra's official logistics partner since 2009, transporting its instruments and equipment around the world for its concert tours. DHL also handles customs formalities and plans the necessary logistics in detail.

Deutsche Post DHL Group has supported the Beethovenfest for more than 12 years. Today, the corporation can look back on some 300 successful cultural events that have drawn more than 35,000 visitors from Bonn and the surrounding area.
