"For me, language is as much about sound as it is about meaning.   The sentences in a novel should possess all the qualities I associate with music:  rhythm, syncopation, movement, even - yes - beauty.   I listen to music every morning before I start writing, and each of my novels has owed at least as much to particular pieces of music as it has to other books."   -- Michael Cunningham

Reading from his novels, Michael Cunningham will be joined by the Northwest Sinfonietta and Bill Doerrfeld on piano performing the film score from THE HOURS by Phillip Glass and music by Mozart and Schubert that inspired his novels.
