SMFA Lecturer talks music, memory and identity

In response to recent statistics that guests on Radio 4’s long-running Desert Island Discs who choose Classical Music are now in the minority, SMFA Lecturer Dr Ben Curry was interviewed by Radio Kent’s Julia George on his reaction.

A fascinating discussion followed, which touched on ways of listening, memory and identity in relation to how we choose and perceive music.
