Britain's What's On Event Guide
John Suchet | Searching Beethoven
Join broadcaster and Classic FM powerhouse John Suchet as he guides us through In Search of Beethoven: A Personal Journey, a deeply personal odyssey that blends biography, travel, music scholarship and devotion.
Part biography, part memoir, part travelogue, Suchet draws on his own life and career as a foreign correspondent and news anchor to show how Beethoven’s music has accompanied him through the best and worst of times. It was with him as a music-loving and adventurous teenager, as a journalist entering Beirut in the grip of civil war, and as he has continued to explore the old cities of Bonn and Vienna, in search of the man behind the music.
Suchet traces Beethoven’s footsteps from his early years in Bonn to his dying days in Vienna, taking us on a journey both literal and symbolic, as he uses his own experience as a Beethoven aficionado to demonstrate the life-changing power of great music.
A must-attend for classical music lovers and biography lovers alike, this is storytelling anchored in passion and guided by one of the UK’s most trusted voices on classical music.
