Greta Thunberg’s ‘how dare you’ speech performed by Megan Washington and Robert Davidson – video
The Australian musician Megan Washington worked with composer Robert Davidson on a performance based around Greta Thunberg’s excoriating address to the UN’s climate action summit in New York in September. The piece was performed at the City Recital Hall’s 20th anniversary event We Are Twenty, to celebrate the music of the future and what music can look like in the next 20 years. “Greta’s speech is the definition of punk, and more important than any song that has been written in my lifetime, so I couldn’t ‘look to the future’ without including it,” Washington said. “Rob is an actual genius because his compositions are proof that there is music in all of us, when we speak passionately, and from the heart.”
