Scala Radio is presenting a new series exploring the music of Beethoven, as part the general Beethoven explosion for the 250th anniversary. The series, which debuts on Sunday 12 April 2020 (Easter Sunday) at 1pm, is called Beethoven: The Basics with Andy Bush and is intended to explore Beethoven and his music from the point of view of 'an absolute beginner'. 

Presenter Andy Bush is a radio broadcaster, writer and illustrator known for his love of indie music and comedy scene but here he is exploring a developing passion for Beethoven and his music. Bush will be finding out more from broadcasters, musicians, composers and other self-confessed Beethoven fans, and there will of course be plenty of Beethoven's music, well-known and lesser-known gems.

You can read more about the series in an interview with Andy Bush on the Scala Radio website.
