Join us for a fascinating exploration into the life, music, and influence of one of history’s greatest composers—Ludwig van Beethoven. This event delves beyond the notes on the page, offering insight into Beethoven’s personal story, his artistic journey, and the profound impact he had on the Romantic era and beyond.

Through engaging discussion, we’ll examine what it truly meant to be ‘Romantic’ in the artistic sense, contrasting Beethoven’s work with later musicians, writers, and cultural figures. Alongside biographical insights—including a look into the modern fascination with his love life—we’ll explore how his compositions shaped the evolving musical landscape.

To bring Beethoven’s legacy to life, a special piano performance from one of our talented piano students will be featured.

Enjoy this thought-provoking session in a relaxed setting, with tea and biscuits provided in our courtyard.
