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 UEFA Women's EURO 2022 tournament, join experts in sport, music and psychology to explore the role resilience and overcoming adversity plays in music and sport. Hear from former elite sportspeople and musicians to discover how they have overcome debilitating injuries to continue in their fields. What challenges have you overcome? How do you stay motivated after a setback? How has music and sport played a role in your lives?
