Lin Arison at Bal Harbour Shops Books & Books

Wednesday, January 5, Bal Harbour Shops, 7:30pm

Books & Books’ Florida Authors Series and the Village of Bal Harbour present a journey through Umbria and into delight: Lin Arison invites readers on a trip to Italy, in the company of Michael Tilson Thomas and the New World Symphony orchestra. Part memoir, part travelogue, Feast for the Senses (Chronicle, $40) features the sights, foods, crafts, and festivals that give Umbria its unique character. The book also includes three DVDs: the celebrated MTT on Music; a short documentary on the musicians in Umbria; and a filmed conversation between Thomas and architect Frank Gehry, designer of the orchestra’s new Miami Beach campus. Tonight you’ll get to enjoy the sounds of their journey with a musical interlude by fellows of the New World Symphony. It’s the perfect prelude to NWS’ brand new concert hall, opening on Jan. 25!
