About THE LECTURE

Join us to explore the life and times of the 18th century composer, Charles Ignatius Sancho. Acclaimed writer and actor Paterson Joseph will lead us on a journey of dramatic discovery, from Sancho's birth on a slave ship, to his rise through the ranks of Regency society, and the love story and family at the centre of his life.

Dotted through with anecdotes from his own life and inspired by Joseph's historical novel, The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho, this is set to be an evening of adventure, excitement and discovery.
