Iain Grandage: Beyond the Boundaries

Iain Grandage is a composer, a cellist, a pianist, a festival director, and a career collaborator.  In his Boyer Lecture, he asks whether classical music has been underestimated in its capacity to connect communities. His work with Indonesian Gamelan ensembles, Noongar elders, theatre companies and the late, great Jimmy Chi, provide waypoints on a long journey from childhood piano lessons to a mature acquisition of knowledge that only serves to reveal how much more understanding is still to seek.
