It Takes a Life
February 7, 2027 7:00 PM
There’s an old saying about biography: It takes a life to study a life. Few people embody that better than Dr. Alan Walker: the Ancaster resident and McMaster University Professor Emeritus whose three-volume, twenty-five-year biography of Franz Liszt and recent extraordinary biography of Frederic Chopin are considered two of the most important works ever written about these great composers. In 2025, the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest awarded Walker an honorary doctorate, to add to his earlier award of the Hungarian Knights Cross of Merit in recognition of a lifetime spent uncovering the real stories of classical music’s most dazzling and misunderstood figures.
Ancaster Music Society is delighted to welcome the creator of this fascinating movie, renowned U.S. film-maker Joe Sabia, to introduce the film and relate how it came to be made.
