Sounds and Stadiums panel: Stand on Ceremony - What happens when people come together for the spectacle of music and sport?

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?

To celebrate the kick off of the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 tournament, join experts in sport, music and ceremony to explore what happens when we gather together to enjoy large-scale events. Why do we gather? Do we engage differently if something is live? How do crowds or audiences affect performance?

Plus, a performance by Young Identity poet and RPO violinist Sali-Wyn Ryan.

Esther Lisk-Carew Heritage Lead at The World Re-Imagined
Dr Michelle Phillips Senior Lecturer in Music Psychology, Royal Northern College of Music
