Venture behind the scenes in this unique chance to uncover the artistic vision and innovative approaches guiding the Philharmonia and its team of partners and collaborators on their pioneering intergenerational project Hear and Now.

Ahead of the public online premiere of the project’s remarkable new filmed artistic work, join host Johanne Hudson-Lett alongside Artistic Director Tim Steiner and filmmaker Jessie Rodger, in this dynamic online panel event featuring the entire creative team behind Hear and Now.

Sharing the story of the trailblazing project’s 12-year history as one of the UK’s first creative intergenerational initiatives, the panel will feature perspectives from key figures leading the groups involved with Hear and Now, as well as the producing team from the Philharmonia and Orchestras Live.

And hear from participants from the groups and the participating Philharmonia musicians in their own words as we tell the moving story of coming together to collaborate on one of the largest-scale creative community projects to take place during the pandemic in the UK – giving everyone involved the chance to sing, laugh, and combat isolation in this challenging year.

Our free event will feature discussion panels and an audience Q&A, followed by the global premiere of the new filmed artistic work on YouTube at 7pm.
