Exhibitions. New writing. Concert commissions. Academic research. Public events, in venues and online. And at the core of everything, preserving and promoting our extensive Anthony Burgess archive.
Your donation to the Burgess Foundation supports our mission to promote the life and work of Anthony Burgess in so many ways.
The International Anthony Burgess Foundation regularly welcomes leading writers and commentators to its Engine House venue in Manchester, hosting readings, lectures, discussions and debates on literature, music and much more. Many of these events are arranged in partnership with other organisations including the Writing School at MMU, Manchester Literature Festival, Granta, Carcanet, Bllackwell’s and others too numerous to name, to whom we are very grateful and without whom our work could not take place.
Now our new Soundcloud channel presents recordings of some of these special events in one convenient location. Click on the image below to listen to readings by award-winning novelists and poets, talks by eminent academics, and recordings of the Annual Burgess Lecture, including contributions from Jonathan Meades, Blake Morrison, Dominic Sandbrook and Tash Aw. Check back regularly for more recordings from our year-round programme of events and activities.
