Composer Nitin Sawhney and conservationist Chris Packham SensoriaPro is the festival's unique, informal gathering of composers, filmmakers, music publishers, labels and festivals all under one roof to discuss the latest developments in music and the moving image.
SensoriaPro takes place at Showroom Cinema on Friday 6th October and tickets are on sale now. Highlights include:
The Animal Symphony
Can animals rock to rhythm or recognise a melody? Naturalist and presenter Chris Packham and internationally acclaimed musician and composer Nitin Sawhney believe some can. We're delighted to welcome them both to SensoriaPro where they will discuss their use of new research, examining how and why certain animals respond to music, that resulted in Nitin's compositions performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
