This site is intended to inform and organize the group reading Anthony Powell’s A Dance to the Music of Time over the course of 2025.
If you’d like to take part, subscribe to our mailing list (see sidebar) to find out about the books and get the invitations to our monthly discussions on Zoom.
We will meet on Zoom the first Monday of the month following each volume based on the schedule below. To bring together readers in Europe, the UK, and North America, we will hold our discussions at 8PM Central European Time, 7PM British Time, 2PM Eastern/1PM Central/Noon Mountain/11AM Pacific. The Zoom invitation for each meeting will be sent to all subscribers to the mailing list.
I also encourage readers to share their thoughts and reactions on BlueSky using the #MusicofTime hashtage.
