About

Helen Garner’s body of work, which includes Monkey Grip, The Children’s Bach and This House of Grief, has earned a legion of dedicated fans at home and abroad across her 45-year career. In 2019, Garner’s impact on the country’s literary culture was recognised with the Australian Council Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature.

In a picturesque setting at ACO’s new Walsh Bay home Pier 2/3, Garner will unpack her deep and lifelong love of music and reveal some of the pieces that have accompanied her life and inspired her writing.

This event is presented in partnership with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Explore the other conversations in the Encounters with Music series featuring Larissa Behrendt, Bill Henson and Leigh Sales.
