ABC Radio National interview of Leigh Harrold and Robbie Buck: ‘in praise of the vulnerable man’ – Tempo Queer 2023 Curation 2 by Leigh Harrold.

INTERVIEW LINK

Pianist Leigh Harrold returns to the stage of Tempo Queer - a series of concerts run by Coady Green at Brunswick's Tempo Rubato. With oboist Dafydd Camp, Leigh presents "In Praise of the Vulnerable Man," a program of music by queer male composers. 

Leigh tells us about how he was persuaded to change the title of his program from "Fragile Masculinity," and we discuss the balance of politics and identity captured in music.
