A Magical, Musical, Coming-of-Power Tale

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 Nnedi Okorafor’s Akata Witch from Kat BulaOlivia ClaireAmber Flame, Lucien La Motte, Jaspar LepakEvan J. PetersonTaliwhoah, and Grae Violett.
