Whereas Christian artists are often known for playing it safe in the arts, today’s guest, classical composer, Anselm Mcdonnell bucks this trend.

His work is experimental and avant garde and that is where the conversation goes in today’s episode. What is avant garde art, why does it matter and why should Christians practise in this area?

To get an intro to Anselm’s work, listen to his piece ‘Cross Purposes’ - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjg0L1McnYk⁠
