Roll Over Beethoven! with John Suchet

Do you love an engaging, fascinating talk which keeps you entertained from start to finish? Do you enjoy an early glass of wine with friends on a Friday to get the weekend off to a sociable start? Would you like to escape the January Blues at one of the Flavel’s ever popular ‘Happy Hour’ events?

You can fulfil all of the above when JOHN SUCHET, the Flavel’s Honorary Patron, presents ‘ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN!’ on Friday 24 January. 

Whether you love Classical Music or not, this talk will keep you entertained as John talks about the 

extraordinary stories behind the music you will hear in the 2025 International Classical Series. This is not a detailed analysis but rather a fascinating insight into how these pieces (including Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Waldstein’ Sonatas) came to be written – the personalities behind the music. Entirely different material from the talk John gave at the Book Festival in September so you won’t have heard this before. 

A well known radio and TV presenter, author, 

journalist and host, and a regular presenter on Classic FM, John is an acknowledged authority on Ludwig van Beethoven and his latest book ‘In Search of Beethoven’ will be on sale. if you missed getting a signed copy in September then now is your chance!
