Nevena and Hayley talk to Misha Ketchell, the editor of The Conversation, about Peter Dutton’s assertions about Gaza refugees and how this has set off a fiery debate. Plus scandal that was erupted at the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
On the 15th of August, ” the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) announced it was an error to cancel a scheduled concerto performance by British-Australian pianist Jayson Gillham.
Its decision, and the issues leading up to it, raises the issue of what the relationship of classical music to politics is – or, rather, what it should be. For many, the two realms simply should not mix. But it is naïve to think classical music – or indeed any art – happens entirely separate from politics”.
‘The furore began on Sunday, when Gillham performed a solo piano recital for the MSO that included the world-premiere of a short piece by composer Conor D’Netto, Witness.
Netto’s website states Witness is “dedicated to the journalists of Gaza”. When he came to perform it, Gillham elaborated on the dedication by drawing the audience’s attention to the more than 100 Palestinian journalists who have been killed in the current conflict’
