Quick Facts About Happy 250th Ludwig!

• Beethoven (Ludwig van Beethoven) was born in 1770; 2020 marked Beethoven’s 250th birthday and spawned global anniversary programming.
• 'Happy 250th, Ludwig!' was the title of a New West Symphony program in January 2020 featuring guest conductor Stefan Sanderling and the Eroica Trio (Beethoven: Eroica Symphony and Triple Concerto).
• Beethoven 250 anniversary activities were coordinated by entities such as Beethoven-Haus Bonn and the Beethoven Jubiläums GmbH, with digital initiatives like Google Arts & Culture campaigns and the #BTHVN2020 effort. ([newwestsymphony.org](https://newwestsymphony.org/press-room/pr-jan-13-20/))
• Discography below focuses on the Eroica Trio, the performer group involved in the 2020 event (not an independent 'Happy 250th Ludwig!' band).
