In this way, Sarajevo International Airport joined other numerous airports across the world, which also broadcast an audio recording of a 3 minute piece of Beethoven’s music (a first movement of the 5th Symphony) via public address system exactly at 2:50 P.M.
The music was accompanied by a short video at the majority of airports. The time was chosen as an association with the 250th anniversary (2:50 P.M.).
The Beethoven Moment is an international cultural event which takes place on the day of the composer’s birth, December 16th and despite uncertainties and pressures imposed by COVID-19 crisis it represents a union of people from different countries.
The Beethoven Moment underlines how interconnected we all are, by celebrating the spirit of human unity and resilience.
