Town Hall is proud to partner with The Bushwick Book Club Seattle for its twelfth mainstage season presenting concerts of original music inspired by literature. Each event showcases a lineup of local, professional musicians and artists each offering a fresh response to that evening’s source text, plus extras like an audience quiz, short film, or scholarly introduction. Book choices range from whimsical to solemn, classic to contemporary, and most every place in between.
This event will feature original music and art inspired by Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library.
Not quite dead and not quite alive, Nora awakes in a library unlike any other: infinite shelves of books, each detailing a different life she might have led — and only one leading the way out.
“A beguiling read, filled with warmth and humour, and a vibrant celebration of the power of books to change lives.” –Sunday Times
