English term or phrase: reading
"...was there performing some readings."
Sobre um escritor consagrado visitando outro país a trabalho.
Texto literário acadêmico.

Minha dúvida é se seria possível, nesse contexto, que "reading" fosse algo como "sarau" ou "palestra". Infelizmente, o texto não deixa quaisquer especificações.

Explanation:
Normalmente, readings referem-se a leitura (ger. da obra do próprio autor ou de outros autores). "Palestra" traduz-se como "lecture" e "sarau" é definido como "reunião noturna, de caráter musical ou literário" (Aulete). Se não souber o horário das leituras, melhor não interpretar como "sarau".

A propósito de "sarau", uma boa tradução para este termo é "soiree" (do francês) "soirée". Exemplo:

literary soiree (sarau literário): https://www.google.com/search?q="literary soiree"

musical soiree (sarau musical): https://www.google.com/search?q="musical soiree"

Explanation:
Em PT(pt), diria mesmo assim. As leituras podem ser feitas pelo próprio escritor ou por outras individualidades. Ver, por exemplo:

No âmbito das comemorações do Centenário, e numa parceria com a Fundação José Saramago, a Antena 2 apresenta a partir de 5 de Janeiro até 16 de Novembro, 46 leituras de excertos da obra do escritor, por diferentes personalidades.
