My guest today is Alexander Voltz is a young award-winning composer who also serves as the founding musical editor of Quadrant Magazine. Today we discuss:
- How important are music and arts to the identity of a nation?
- Should we consider post modern and similar theories which seek to delegitimise great works of arts and those that created them as not simply a good faith form of literary criticism but more a fundamental and hostile attack on a nation?
- What should be the relationship between the arts and politics and whether it is possible for arts to be completely seperate from politics?
- How should government encourage the arts in Australia and how to avoid the trap of subsidising substandard works simply because they have a national element?
And much much more.
