While the Music Lasts (Warleigh Hall Press Orchestral Novel Series Book 1)

by Alice McVeighPublish: Sep 04, 2024Women's Fiction

Book Overview

“This portrayal of the psychosexual duet between men and women, and of the music-making process in a symphony orchestra, sings with lyrical intensity and eloquent feeling” (Publishers Weekly)

(Honorable mention/fourth place in Writers Digest Annual ebook Awards, 2022)


"The orchestra becomes a universe in... microcosm - all human life is here" (The Sunday Times)

"A very enjoyable novel - and not quite as light as it pretends to be." (The Sunday Telegraph)


Alice McVeigh worked for over fifteen years in London orchestras, including the BBC Symphony and the Royal Philharmonic - performing on four continents with famous conductors and wonderful cello sections. This book describes the backstage life of a symphony orchestra... Life in the (fictional) Orchestra of London as seen through the eyes of several musicians. Perfectly representing the disparate attitudes, feelings and ambitions of a symphony orchestra full of crazy musos, it brilliantly weaves together affairs, musical jealousies, a misdirected love letter, and an unusual codicil to a will. read more

Reviews of McVeigh’s contemporary novels:

The Sunday Times:

'Characters rise and fall to McVeigh’s superbly controlled conductor's baton. The orchestra becomes a universe in microcosm; all human life is here . . . McVeigh succeeds in harmonising a supremely comic tone with much darker notes.'

The Sunday Telegraph:

'McVeigh is a professional cellist and is thus able to describe with wry authority the extraordinary life of a London orchestra. This is a very enjoyable novel, and not quite as light as it pretends to be.' read more
