It was the last message of Beissel, before he passed away a few weeks ago, for Gega-Dodi to take over the direction of the Bonn Classical Philharmonic. "Because she has musical skills and experience… In addition, her name is very well known in artistic circles, with which she is very well associated", it was written, among other things, in the will of prof. Beissel.

The Bonn Classical Philharmonic performs in the most famous music halls of Germany, among others with great success with the series of the Viennese Classic repertoire (Wiener Klassik).

"We will continue the Viennese Classic series. And we will use the stage for internationally renowned artists, as well as as a springboard for young, talented conductors", said Ervis Gega-Dodi after taking over the direction of the Bonn Classical Philharmonic.
