Branding the classics

I’ll be taking part in the day long Design for Music/ Music and Design bonanza at St Bride Library this coming Friday from 8.45a.m.

My slot is at 11.30 a.m. ‘Classical Crossroads’ will be discussing the role of design within classical music, from performance posters and branding to the ‘lost opportunities’ of digital downloads. Along with me will be Philip Sheppard (in the Chair), Robin Kinross, and Peter Quantrill.

I no longer work for the latter but I still have the pleasure of regular involvement with LCO.
