Friday @ The Flavel: Roll Over Beethoven with John Suchet
Roll Over Beethoven! with John Suchet
(extraordinary stories behind the music you will hear)
John Suchet, the Flavel’s Honorary Patron, talks about the Beethoven pieces in the 2025 International Classical Series: The ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Waldstein’ sonatas and the ‘Andante Favori’. Not a detailed analysis but rather a fascinating insight into how these pieces came to be written - the personalities behind the music. If you enjoyed his talk at the Book Festival, this covers different ground but is equally insightful, delivered in John’s usual engaging style.
John covered world events for ITN, presenting News at Ten and all ITN news bulletins. In 2008 the Royal Television Society awarded John its highest accolade, a Lifetime Achievement Award. A regular presenter on Classic FM, he is an acknowledged authority on Ludwig van Beethoven and has sold over 23,000 copies of 'Beethoven: The Man Revealed'. His new book (no 8), 'In Search of Beethoven', was published in October and copies will be on sale tonight. Come and hear John talk, ask him to sign your book and enjoy a glass of wine with him afterwards.
Friday 24 January, 5.30pm
Ticket £15 (to include a glass of complimentary wine or soft drink after the talk)
