Music thrives in an environment where norms are questioned and tradition is challenged and the Battle of Ideas programme this year offers the opportunity to talk about big ideas with leading thinkers and opinion formers. The Royal College of Music is delighted to be involved with the 2008 Battle of Ideas and looks forward to making a contribution to this important event. - Susan Sturrock, Director of Communications, Royal College of Music |
"Participating in the Battle was a little like entering a Bombay train at rush hour - it's a plunge into a swirl of wildly differing notions of how people should arrange themselves in a really tight situation. When you eventually emerge, you find that you're in a different place from where you started - and that you've been thoroughly energised from the journey. I can't wait to take the trip again next year."
