John Suchet | Beethoven

Join celebrated broadcaster, classical music presenter, and author John Suchet in conversation with Rebecca Fletcher for a captivating exploration of the life and music of one of the greatest composers.

In his new book, widely regarded as the definitive account of Beethoven’s life, Suchet delves beyond the myths to reveal the man behind the music—his turbulent personal relationships, his profound struggle with deafness, and the extraordinary creative drive that produced works of enduring power and beauty.

Drawing on years of research and deep musical knowledge, John brings Beethoven vividly to life, combining biography, insight, and a lifelong passion for classical music.

This event will be accomapanied by a live performance from The Kellett Quartet, offering audiences an opportunity to experience Beethoven’s music alongside the story of its creation.

This promises to be a moving and illuminating event for music lovers, readers, and anyone fascinated by artistic genius.
