What connects Ludwig van Beethoven with Mission: Impossible, James Bond, Star Wars, Rocky and Pirates of the Caribbean? More than one might initially suspect: tension, drama, powerful rhythms and melodies that immediately stick in the memory.

At Beethoven goes to Movies, world-famous works by Beethoven meet legendary film music. The More Than Classic string quartet guides you through an afternoon concert between classical music and great cinema moments. Short spoken introductions accompany the programme and reveal fascinating connections between Beethoven and the world of film.

Especially after hectic weeks full of work, appointments, and screen time, we often miss a moment that truly captivates us and simultaneously offers a chance to switch off. This live concert in Zurich offers precisely that: listen, immerse yourself, and leave everyday life behind for 75 minutes.
