John Suchet’s 40-year career as television reporter and newscaster for ITN brought him into millions of living rooms across the country every day. Following his retirement from TV news he was able to indulge his passion for classical music as daily flagship presenter on Classic FM. John is a recognised authority on the life and music of Beethoven.

In his latest book on Beethoven (his eighth!) he reveals their joint passion for the trombone. John will reveal all in a special talk, with trombone accompaniment, at the British Trombone Festival.
