In Search of Beethoven
Sunday 24 November
Studio, Royal Spa Centre, Leamington Spa
7.30pm
Join John Suchet for a special talk to mark the release of his new book In Search of Beethoven, a deeply personal account of his relationship with the great composer.
John charts a journey from Beethoven’s early years in Bonn to his adult life in Vienna, following in the composer’s footsteps and interweaving Beethoven’s story with his own.
In Search of Beethoven also sheds light on Beethoven’s ancestry and health, drawing on the latest research from Cambridge University and the Max Planck Institute, to offer fresh insights into his heritage, health struggles and pivotal events in his life, such as his interactions with Mozart.
John’s insightful storytelling and meticulous research show Beethoven in a wholly new light.
