Music and Mountains

Conductor, Composer, Climber. Life was never going to be dull for Graham Treacher. Driven by his twin loves of mountain climbing and making music. It has been a case of Monteverdi one week, the Matterhorn the next. Spanning nine decades, he's met and worked with famous figures in both fields. And yet it's the metaphorical mountains he scales that define him. A full life, marked by trauma, fortitude and love. A life, that as it unfolds through the pages of his book, makes us realise just what humans can achieve, when they keep climbing.
