Join speakers from the world of football and music to explore the various ways we engage with sport and culture.

To celebrate the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 tournament, compare the physical prowess of elite musicians and elite sportspeople. In this fun debate, consider the strength, endurance, dexterity and flexibility required of performers in both fields. Who’s stronger: a rugby player or an opera singer? How do you train? How do you develop fine motor skills and endurance? What’s happening inside the body when we play/perform?


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.
