About this event

Five writers—Grant Robertson, Shehan Karunatilaka, pip adam, Jon Toogood, and Elizabeth Knox—gather at The Piano to celebrate the works that shaped them. Each presents a personal essay or reflection on a song or book that left a mark. It's less a gig than a conversation: a room full of people who make sentences for a living, talking about the ones that mattered most.
