This event was presented in association with TORCH, with support from the Humanities Cultural Programme, and the Museum of Natural History.

This event was broadcast as part of the Oxford Lieder Festival 2020. From the Huxley Room in Oxford's Museum of Natural History, where the Great Debate took place in 1860, Paul Smith and Carola Darwin examine nineteenth-century questions of ‘religion vs science’, their importance then and now, and their influence on composers of the period.
