Percussion-Sensation Martin Grubinger & His Friends on “Beethovenfest in Bonn”

Tonight at 7:00 on the Evening Concert it’s the second of the “Beethovenfest in Bonn” programs from the Deutsche Welle Festival Concerts. What do Bela Bartok, Astor Piazzola, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Fazil Say have in common with Beethoven? I don’t know! However, percussion-sensation Martin Grubinger and Friends will make the connection to Beethoven for us on “Beethovenfest in Bonn” tonight at 7:00 on the Evening Concert on WILL, FM-90.9.
