Join us next week for a sensational line up at 5x15. An evening of art, science and deeply personal storytelling: from the building blocks of life to medical mysteries, from the mental health crisis to the magic of birdsong, and creating a memorial to someone you love.

Edmund de Waal is an internationally acclaimed artist and writer. The Hare With Amber Eyes was de Waal's moving family memoir chosen as one of the books of the decade by the Sunday Times and of the 21st century by the Guardian. Now, with Letters to Camondo, he tells the story of the Count Moïse de Camondo, who, like de Waal’s forebears, was part of Belle Époque society, and also subject to its anti-semitism. Unchanged since 1936, Camondo’s spectacular Parisian house and extensive art collection were bequeathed on his death to the nation.

Walter Isaacson, the acclaimed biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein, returns to 5x15 with The Code Breakers which describes the world-changing gene-editing invention CRISPR and its remarkable creator, and asks whether the benefits of controlling our DNA outweigh the potential alarming consequences of its misuse. Walter is a professor at Tulane University, a former chair and CEO of CNN and a former editor of Time magazine.

Suzanne O’Sullivan is a leading neurologist and winner of the Wellcome Book Prize for her book It's All in Your Head. The Sleeping Beauties is an investigation into communities struck by seemingly-inexplicable illnesses, inspired by the 'sleeping refugee children' of Sweden, that took Suzanne around the world from a derelict post-Soviet mining town in Kazakhstan, to the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua via an oil town in Texas, to the heart of the Maria Mountains in Colombia.  'A true descendant of Oliver Sacks.' Sathnam Sanghera.

Horatio Clare is a bestselling author, broadcaster and former BBC arts radio producer. In Heavy Light he recalls the onset of the mania that saw him sectioned, and describes how the healing process led him to investigate the front-line reality of the ‘mental health crisis’. Previous books by Horatio Clare include the memoirs Running for the Hills and Truant and the travel book A Single Swallow.

Sam Lee is a Mercury Prize-winning folk singer, conservationist, song collector, broadcaster and activist. The Nightingale: Notes on a Songbird, is Sam’s first book - a unique and lyrical portrait of nightingales in myth and poetry, and an exploration of how environmental issues are threatening the future of this charmed and elusive bird.

With thanks for your generous support for 5x15's online series.
