With contributions from the composers George Benjamin, Anders Hillborg, Shiva Feshareki and Helen Grime, explaining how Stravinsky's music has shaped their work and their lives; from the musicologists Marina Frolova-Walker, Robert Fink and Jonathan Cross, who elaborate on how Stravinsky has been reinvented on many different contexts since his death; and we also hear from the dancer and choreographer Seeta Patel, who reinterpreted the iconic ballet 'Rite of Spring' within South Indian classical dance traditions.

What is data governance and what parts are still applicable in a crisis? What is meant by focusing on "simple questions first" Related Resources: In Crisis Response, Ask Simple Questions First: The article that inspired this discussion The Executive’s Guide to Quantum Computing: What business decision-makers need to know now about quantum superiority Context on Make vs Buy in the Federal Ecosystem: If you know of anyone anywhere in government who is thinking of building/coding a new data system to track issues around the pandemic they should just stop and should buy a commercial platform.
