Neil Gaiman is one of the great storytellers of our time, his work loved by fans of all ages in books, films, on TV and in the theatre. In this second part of a very special concert (the first part was broadcast on Christmas Day), he joins the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mihhail Gerts, for a walk on the dark side, reading from his best-selling books, weaving together his dystopian visions with music to thrill and excite the senses. He is joined on stage by Amanda Palmer who sings A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square and David Tennant, reading from Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett's work "Good Omens". This is an edited version of the full concert, broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 3 on 23 December 2019.
