York Festival of Ideas

Can music make the world a better place? Can it really ‘belong’ to anyone? Can the magic, mystery and incertitude of music – of the human brain meeting or making sound – stop wars, rehabilitate the broken, unite, educate or inspire? Ed Vulliamy, an Observer journalist for 20 years, presents a passionate investigation of the charged frontier between 20th-century music and politics. When words fail, might we turn to music?
