AN EQUAL MUSIC – Vikram Seth’s evocative classic

CBC Radio 2  Shift host Tom Allen and a string quintet from the Toronto Symphony present a concert based on Vikram Seth’s evocative classic, An Equal Music. Tom Allen’s readings from the book are interwoven with the music that forms the backbone of the novel’s narrative. Musical pieces include a quartet by Haydn, a quintet by Beethoven and portions of J.S. Bach’s great Art of the Fugue, all featured prominently in the book. This concert will be the culmination of the Kingston Road Village Concert Series’ Beaches Reads.

Beaches Reads is a series of evenings in October at four local Beach libraries, hosted by Tim Dawson and Tom Allen. They are an opportunity for people to read An Equal Music and then get together informally to discuss this wonderful book. For more information on the reading series dates and times please visit
