San Jose Schools Join San Jose State Universitys Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies in Birthday Celebration
San Jose State Universitys 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 Universitys Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies twenty first year. The celebration event also includes the premiere of the film Beethovens 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 Beethovens Hair will be shown. This film follows the perilous journey across 179 and two continents of a lock of Beethovens 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 Universitys Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies. The film Beethovens Hair examines how the lock of hair was passed from generation to generation and how it survived the Holocaust and World War II.
