Thursday 10 October 2019 - John Suchet
Tchaikovsky – The Man Revealed
John Suchet, of ClassicFM fame makes a welcome return to us. This time he will be talking about his most recent book “Tchaikovsky – The Man Revealed”. A tortured genius, a sensitive soul, a great composer burdened by the weight of his private desires. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s life – and premature death – has long been mythologised and misunderstood. John Suchet draws back the curtain to show us the real man behind the music.
Discounted copies of John’s books will be available at the concert and can be signed by him.
