The London Cello Society celebrates the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth with a programme devoted to his works for cello and the context which gave birth to the modern cello sonata as we know it—a true partner to the keyboard. Beethoven’s revolutionary and romantic spirit is very much alive in these works and we can follow his evolution as a composer through their pag es. Join us for a first-class line-up of period instrument players and lecturers whose insights will make for an enriching day and evening.
