Title:Music and Conflict
Abstract:
Music has the potential for various functions with regard to conflict: it could be used to depict, explore, incite, unify, offer comfort or build bridges. Music has been created by composers when living through conflict and by those who are using their art to transform internal conflict. This talk will look at compositions that have various relationships with conflict including works by Olivier Messiaen, Sofia Gubaidalina, Peter Maxwell Davies, James Macmillan and Gemma McGregor.
