The Chamber Singers of the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus will raise their voice, and Mitch Landrieu, until recently the mayor of New Orleans, will offer his perspective of division in America during free Lawn Talks offered this month by the Sun Valley Writers Conference.
Other free Lawn Talks feature novelist Alice McDermott and historian Andrew Roberts.
This is the fourth year that the Writers’ Conference has offered free Lawn Talks to the public. The public will be able to watch the talks via the Pavilion lawn screen.
Here’s the lineup for the Lawn Talks:
No reservations or tickets are required. Gates will open 30 minutes prior to the first lawn talk each day.
The sold-out conference will be held Saturday, July 20, to Tuesday, July 23, at Sun Valley Resort. It brings in some of the world’s best writers and thinkers, including journalists, playwrights, poets and filmmakers, to talk about their work.
Fifty Pulitzer Prize winners have spoken at the event over the years, along with 22 National Book Award winners and six winners of Great Britain’s elite Mann Booker Prize.
