Royal College of Music

Music thrives in an environment where norms are questioned and tradition is challenged and the Battle of Ideas programme this year offers the opportunity to talk about big ideas with leading thinkers and opinion formers.  The Royal College of Music is delighted to be involved with the 2008 Battle of Ideas and looks forward to making a contribution to this important event.

"The Battle of Ideas is a global treasure. Bringing together some of the world's leading thinkers for civil dialogue on an array of topics, the festival is a must-see for those deeply committed to the free exchange of ideas."
Fredrick C. Harris, professor of political science, Columbia University
