An electrifying presentation/performance by the world-renowned classical recorder player Piers Adams, famous for his work with baroque quartet Red Priest. Piers combines his views on freedom issues with striking thoughts about how music has been used and sometimes abused over the years to condition society. And yet musicians themselves have often been seen as suspiciously subversive, hence the title of this talk, 'The Dangerous Musician'. Interspersed with his monologue are astonishing musical interludes. Recorded at the Glastonbury Symposium, 2018.
