Virtual - Book Presentation and Discussion with artist Mikael Ross

 
Join the Goethe Pop Up in celebrating a new graphic novel from Germany and Beethoven’s legacy during a book discussion with artist Mikael Ross. 
 
Who was Beethoven before he became “Beethoven,” one of the most famous composers of all time? Mikael Ross’ award-winning graphic novel Goldjunge: Beethovens Jugendjahre beautifully depicts the story and music of Ludwig van Beethoven’s youth, from 1778 to his first major performance in 1795.
 
Originally inspired by a small comic the Beethoven Society commissioned from Ross, Goldjunge’s impact will grow further in May, when Fantagraphics will publish the English translation of the book. In anticipation of the new edition, Golden Boy: Beethoven’s Youth, Mikael Ross will discuss the book and his process with Martin Nedbal, Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of Kansas.  
 
The author talk will take place online on Tuesday, March 29, at 12:00 PM CT. Please register on the website to receive Zoom access info.
