Classical music has been pushed over the edge of what's cool for far too long. In this talk - with clips from some of the greatest composers in history - Rowan explains why all of us need classical music and why the world of Classical music is a bit like Game of Thrones. • Rowan spends his nine-to-fives trying not to blow himself up in a particle accelerator (Diamond Light Source, Oxfordshire). When he's not doing physics, he likes to read, write stories (set in weird places like coral reefs) and do all things musical. • His musical endeavours include gigging and recording in multiple rock bands, playing various instruments (some normal, some very strange) and singing for the University of Surrey Big Band. • He grew up in Southampton and is a lifelong supporter of Saints FC. • This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
