"Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear." - Ludwig van Beethoven  Beethoven began losing his hearing at the tender age of 28, leading to complete deafness. So how did this great composer manage to write some of the most-loved and well-known classical masterpieces? 🎼  Join Andy Bromberger for our first 2024 Music Talk, "Beethoven and His Deafness" as she reveals the mental, physical and creative impact going deaf had on a composer of Beethoven's stature and how he adapted to living with disability and expressing his emotions around this.  🎉 SPECIAL OFFER: BOOK A PACKAGE FOR ALL FOUR OF OUR UPCOMING MUSIC TALKS AND SAVE $10!  🗓️ Wednesday 10 April at 11am
