Clarinet, Chamber Music and an Evening Full of Elegance Above Bonn
With Jonathan Leibovitz & Friends, the Beethovenfest 2026 presents an evening of chamber music that brings German romanticism and Jewish-influenced music of the 20th century into a fascinating tension. On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the concert will take place at 6:00 PM in the Rotunda of the Steigenberger Grandhotel Petersberg in Königswinter – high above the Rhine and with that special live atmosphere for which great chamber music evenings in intimate settings are famous. The concert costs 29 Euros. ([beethovenfest.de](https://www.beethovenfest.de/de/programm-tickets/jonathan-leibovitz-friends/856?utm_source=openai))
A Sound Space with Attitude
Jonathan Leibovitz is one of the most exciting clarinetists of his generation. The Israeli musician, based in Basel, is internationally sought after as a soloist and chamber musician, has already gained artistic attention with his debut album Eastern Reflections, and has been awarded as a Borletti-Buitoni Fellow and winner of several competitions. BBC Music Magazine praised his ability to captivate the listener with imagination, control, and personality. This blend of expression and technical precision also shapes his stage performance.

Romanticism Meets Jewish Modernity
The program traverses a finely balanced repertoire: Clara Schumann's Three Romances, Brahms’ second clarinet sonata, works by Paul Ben-Haim and Paul Hindemith, as well as Paul Schoenfield's Trio for Clarinet, Violin, and Piano. This dramaturgy promises a concert experience with soft colors, sharp lines, and great emotional tension. The mix of lyrical orchestration in small settings, chamber music synchronization, and rhythmic energy opens up an evening that will be memorable.

The Rotunda as a Stage for Intimacy and Brilliance
The Rotunda of the Steigenberger Grandhotel Petersberg is considered a representative space with a special aura. The venue is located on the Petersberg above Bonn, offers barrier-free access, parking options on the premises, and a location with views of the Siebengebirge and the Rhine, according to hotel information. For a chamber concert, this means: concentrated sound, immediate audience atmosphere, and a setting that feels more like a salon than a distant concert hall. The event is designated with a capacity of up to 500 people in the Rotunda. ([all.accor.com](https://all.accor.com/hotel/C7A5/index.en.shtml?utm_source=openai))
