Ep 9 2020: Protest and Survive: Agitation and the Avant Garde
Description
Ultima Context - the podcast that takes you deeper into the world of contemporary and experimental music.
Black Lives Matter, corrupt and incompetent governments, environmental disaster and COVID-19 have all been the triggers for public protests in 2020. How is contemporary music keeping pace with these radical movements? Can music still shake the walls down?
