Mark Salzman’s first memoir, Iron and Silk, inspired by his years living in China, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction and received a Christopher Award. This local author’s works include the novels The Soloist and Lying Awake and the nonfiction titles True Notebooks and The Man in the Empty Boat. His unusual combination of talents — he is also an accomplished cellist — inspired a feature profile about him in The New Yorker.
Salzman joins LACO principal cello Andrew Shulman onstage as the narrator in a performance piece that weaves together Salzman’s own struggle with writer’s block and how his deep love of Bach’s cello suite helped break the spell. Mozart’s E-major Piano Trio, composed at the zenith of his powers, brings the evening to a joyful close.
