Can Music Change the World? Art, Politics, Justice and Censorship

Panellists: Chris Stover, Naomi Sunderland, Rebecca Lloyd-Jones
Chair: Catherine Grant

Music is never just sound: it can challenge power, amplify unheard voices, provoke debate, and imagine fairer futures. This Big Ideas session explores the political life of music through questions of justice, artistic freedom, censorship, representation, and the social responsibilities of musicians, educators, and cultural institutions.
