Is our musical culture facing an existential threat? With ever smaller numbers of young people learning instruments, the gradual erasing of music from state education and years of declining funding, things may be worse than you think. Sound World investigates the state of music today and looks at what we can do to safeguard it for future generations.

The Sally Beamish Interview

Saison 1 · Épisode 20

mardi 12 août 2025 • Durée 01:07:34

A land without music?

Today’s episode is a full length interview with a British composer whose works include symphonies, concertos and chamber pieces, but who also looks beyond the classical tradition to Celtic music and jazz. Indeed, some of those concertos feature fairly unusual solo instruments including accordion, saxophone & clàrsach.

In 2020 she composed April for Sound World’s lockdown album Reflections and, during the same period, she reached a rather different audience through her trio’s Thursday evening doorstep performances of jazz standards and pop classics.

Written and presented by Julian Leeks Produced by Sound World

Funding The Arts

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

lundi 28 juillet 2025 • Durée 42:25

A land without music?

In today's episode of A land without music? we’re talking about arts funding. This is particularly relevant at the moment with an ongoing government commissioned independent review into Arts Council England and one year into a new labour government, which came in to power talking about the importance of art and putting creativity at the centre of education.

But with financial black holes, low growth and high government borrowing, what are the funding realities facing arts organisations and what should we do to safeguard our precious culture.

Written and presented by Julian Leeks. Produced by Sound World

The Iain McGilchrist Interview

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

lundi 14 avril 2025 • Durée 48:09

This episode features the first half of our interview with psychiatrist, neuroscientist, literary scholar and author of The Master and His Emissary, Iain McGilchrist. We’ve decide to put this out following the interview with AI researcher Peter Flach since it touches on many of the same issues, albeit from a very different perspective.

Beyond that, it's a wide ranging interview, reflecting Iain's exceptionally broad frame of reference, taking in the evolution of the human brain, art, music, modernism, society, politics and spirituality. The second half of the interview will be released on Monday 28th April.

The Peter Flach Interview

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

lundi 31 mars 2025 • Durée 01:16:14

This is another of our bonus episodes featuring one of the full length interviews that we recorded for the main strand of A land without music?.

Following on from our last episode in which our guests discussed various aspects of AI and technology, we’re talking to Prof. Peter Flach. For anyone trying to make sense of AI, how it works and what it might mean for us to, Peter is someone to listen to. Professor of artificial intelligence and an expert in machine learning, Peter is a knowledgable and measured voice in a field often characterised by hyperbole and hysteria.
