Haruki Murakami, considered by many to be Japan’s finest contemporary author, makes many references to classical music in his works. This concert presentation will feature music that Murakami has intricately woven into his novels, from Norwegian Wood to 1Q84. This unique talk and performance will show how listening to these musical selections can enhance the emotional impact of Murakami’s writing and treat fans of the Japanese author with a re-imagined classical playlist from his works.
