Salamander Author Series

Join us for an inspiring evening with bestselling author and classically trained violinist Brendan Slocumb, as part of our ongoing Salamander Author Series. Slocumb’s acclaimed novels - The Violin Conspiracy, Symphony of Secrets, and his latest, The Dark Maestro - seamlessly blend gripping suspense with the rich, emotive world of classical music. Drawing from his own experiences as a musician and educator, Slocumb explores powerful themes of identity, resilience, and the transformative power of art. Guests will enjoy a live reading, an engaging conversation about his creative process, and a moderated Q&A that invites deeper reflection and connection.

The evening begins with a welcoming reception at 6:00 pm, followed by the author conversation at 6:45 pm, and concludes at 8:00 pm with a book signing and opportunity for one-on-one engagement. Enjoy wine, light bites, and an atmosphere designed to spark meaningful dialogue. Whether you’re a passionate reader, a lover of music, or someone who values powerful storytelling, this event offers an enriching experience rooted in Salamander’s signature warmth and sense of belonging. RSVP is required as space is limited to maintain the intimacy of the evening.
