Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies in Birthday Celebration

San Jose State University’s Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies and the San Jose Jewish Film Festival have teamed up with the San Jose Schools in an event to celebrate the San Jose State University’s Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies twenty first year. The celebration event also includes the premiere of the film “Beethoven’s Hair” at the San Jose Jewish Film Festival. This will be an event for the whole community held in downtown San Jose in October.

The 2006 San Jose Jewish Film Festival will be the central event and is where the film “Beethoven’s Hair” will be shown. This film follows the perilous journey across 179 and two continents of a lock of Beethoven’s hair. In 1827, a lock of hair was clipped from Beethoven on his deathbed. This lock of hair can now be found in the San Jose State University’s Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies. The film “Beethoven’s Hair” examines how the lock of hair was passed from generation to generation and how it survived the Holocaust and World War II.

The San Jose Jewish Film Festival will host a fundraiser and celebration event near the end of October. At this event, which will be held at the Martin Luther King Jr. library, all participants will screen a private viewing of the film “Beethoven’s Hair” and meet the director Larry Weinstein for a question and answer discussion about the film. The author of the original book “Beethoven’s Hair”, the source for the film, will also be in attendance. Russell Martin will sign complimentary copies of his book and speak at the event. Everyone at this event will receive a private tour of the San Jose State University’s Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, which has in its collection numerous personal letters and musical compositions written by Beethoven along with the previously mentioned lock of hair clipped right from his head.
