The nature of creativity is the topic of a Creativity Conversation between a composer and singer, an author and composer.

Distinguished Artist in Residence Robert Spano, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's music director, will talk with National Book Award finalist Linda Gregerson and composer and singer Susan Botti.

The free, public event is Thursday, March 22 at 4 p.m. in the Michael C. Carlos Museum Reception Hall.

Gregerson was recently awarded the Pushcart Prize for her poem "Dido Refuses to Speak," commissioned by Botti for her original chamber work "Gates of Silence."
