Join speakers from the world of football and music to explore the various ways we engage with sport and culture. Why do some of us love classical music and others football? How do they compare and what do they have in common?

Why do some of us love classical music and some love football? Why do some people express themselves on the football pitch, and others in a rock band? What makes us feel like we belong in music and sport? Whose ‘culture’ is it anyway? Why do we differentiate? Looking at how anthems connect music and sport.

Including a performance of 'STEEL the Show', Sheffield’s WEURO Anthem created in collaboration between the RPO and local residents, performed by the RPO Quintet.


In our Sound and Stadiums panel series, join experts including Preeti Shetty (Director, Brentford FC), Rose Reilly (Scottish former professional footballer), Charlotte Harding (composer), Idle Women (Social Justice Collaborative) and more as we explore topics bringing together the worlds of music and sport. From the psychology behind crowds to how behind-the-scenes heroes make the magical moments happen, join engaging discussions delving deeper into areas of intersection, challenges and possibilities for the future.
