Peter Renshaw outlines the work of a project committed to integrating musical performance into the wider community. He explores how workshops within social institutions such as schools, hospitals and prisons might increase the accessibility and relevance of music today.
This is the second lecture in the series 'The Musician Responding to Change'. The first lecture is 'Audience for Music in the Year 2000'.
