Jayne Adair photoOn behalf of The Drue Heinz Lectures, I would like to invite you to ten exciting evenings at Oakland’s Carnegie Music Hall with some of America’s most prestigious writers and thinkers.

From September 2008 to April 2009, our eighteenth season offers an extraordinary gamut of literary arts, including brilliant fiction, incomparable poetry, incisive scholarship, and dazzling glamour.

All of our events include a memorable lecture, dynamic questions & answers with the audience, social networking around the lobby coffee bar, and a personalized book signing. And, for contributors, we’ve added even more exciting benefits including “First-to-Know” alerts of seating upgrades, free gifts, an opportunity to meet our authors at private receptions and access to our luxury Opera Boxes.

The 2008 - 2009 Drue Heinz Lectures feature: Tina Brown, Edwidge Danticat, Richard Russo, David Macaulay, Will Shortz, Devra Davis, Janet Browne, Billy Collins, Marjane Satrapi, and Judith Jones.

Come hear what the talk is all about!
