Music doesn’t talk back or give an opinion in words, so it can be harder for people to engage with. spnm supports the Battle of Ideas because strong ideas and strong debate make for a more stimulating and exciting music scene. The organisation has been working to create dialogues between creators and audiences of contemporary music for over 60 years. - Abigail Pogson, Executive Director, spnm |
"Just when Kant's formulation that 'the public exercise of reason should be free' had begun to seem so remote and exhausted, the Battle should reinforce one's faith in the enduring worth of dissent and of the free traffic in ideas"
Swapan Chakravorty, professor of english, Jadavpur University
