THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL.
THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT-GARDEN.
111. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS—THIS EVENING, TO-MORROW,
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY.
There will be eo performance on Wednesday.
Since the Festival given last year in honour of the great composer,
BEETHOVEN, at his birthplace, the musical professors and ama-
teurs of almost every continental city have bestirred themselves to
evince their admiration of that great departed genius, and have pro-
duced some grand musical reunion for the special performance of his
finest works. The public enthusiasm with which these Festivals
have been received, as well as the royal patronage bestowed on them,
proves the estimation, and indeed almost devotion, with which the
talents of Beethoven are regarded abroad. It has, however, been
the frequent remark of foreign artistes, that in no country are
Beethoven's works more highly appreciated than in England; and
since the public in general have been enabled at a reasonable charge
to make themselves acquainted with them, such a widely-extended
knowledge now exists, that it is scarcely possible to conceive but
that a similar demonstration in England must be highly and
generally popular.

M. JULLIEN having at his disposal an orchestra of unrivalled
talent, conceived the idea of producing such an entertainment as
that above-mentioned, and on making known his intentions has re-
ceived from many distinguished amateurs and professors the most
ensouraging assurances of support and assistance.
In addition to his usual orchestra, M. Jullien has been enabled to
add the names of several of the first professors, and has also the
satisfaction to state that Signor Sivori has expressed his wish to
take part in the Festival, and will for a short period longer delay
his departure.
THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL will commence THIS EVENING,
and continue To-morrow, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, during
which the most celebrated works of Beethoven will be produced.
