  • Summary

  • Music has a long history with political movements, but recently the question of whether it should be disconnected from politics has been raised yet again. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra made the controversial decision to cancel pianist Jayson Gillham's concerts, following his dedication of the piece, titled Witness and composed by Connor D'Netto, to the journalists in Gaza.

    We caught up with A/Prof Paul Smith and Dr Marty Branagan to discuss the relationship between music and political movements, and non-violent protests.
