An evening with David Sedaris and the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra: Death knows no season
Recorded on 20 Dec 2016 Barbican Hall, London

Giancarlo Guerrero Conductor
David Sedaris is smart, he's biting, and he's one of the world's best storytellers. He skilfully slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness in his droll assessment of the absurdity that teems just below the surface of everyday life. And he is hilarious.
You might have heard his hit series for 大象传媒 Radio 4, or maybe you're one of the millions across the world who have read his bestselling books. Now, hear the devastatingly funny man on stage with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra. This one-off evening of words and music will leave you in stitches, even if - or perhaps because - the programme is entitled 'Death knows no season'!
