Language of Words, Language of Music

Mar 16
A truly international-spirited writer, Louis de Bernières was twice shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize before winning it in 1995. Playwright, poet and novelist, he is perhaps best known as the author of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. However, he is also an impressively accomplished musician who plays many instruments, including the flute and the mandolin, and often plays with his band, The Antonius Players. Recently, the best-selling author of The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Alexander McCall Smith, created the opera, The Okavango Macbeth as a contribution to the musical culture of Botswana. Music features in many of McCall Smith’s works; he himself plays the bassoon “very badly” and was prompted to found “The Really Terrible Orchestra”. Join these renowned authors in conversation with Kyoko Altman as they discuss their passions and contemplate the relationship between words and music. Part of the Man Hong Kong Literary Festival
