Music in the Round are thrilled to welcome lecturer in nationalism in history Dr Timothy Baycroft, musicologist and Beethoven specialist Dr William Drabkin, audiologist Dr Harriet Crook of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, and violinist and co-founder of Music in the Round Peter Cropper for this two hour discussion panel.

Each speaker will propose a single hypothesis borne of their own personal experience as to why Beethoven and his music are quite so extraordinary before offering up the topic open for general discussion. Chaired by Music in the Round’s Artistic Director Angus Smith, this session is set to give a fascinating insight into Beethoven and the world around him.
