Jodrell Bank hosts a night of music & conversation with award-winning producer Hannah Peel

Jodrell Bank hosts an intimate evening of conversation, music and astronomy this October.

Taking place on Thu 30 Oct, award-winning composer, producer and broadcaster Hannah Peel will be joined by Professor Tim O’Brien, Associate Director of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, in a discussion chaired by Professor Terasa Anderson, MBE.

The unique event will feature the world premiere of Hannah’s brand-new composition for the BBC Philharmonic, a fascinating exploration of sounds foraged from around Jodrell Bank, created for BBC Radio 4’s upcoming celebration of the iconic Observatory’s 80th anniversary.

Throughout the evening, Hannah, who has been nominated for an Emmy, Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello, and Tim, co-founder of Bluedot Festival, will delve into the sonification of scientific data, Hannah’s creative process and relationship with Jodrell Bank, and the powerful intersection of space and storytelling.

The event also marks the rerelease of Hannah’s critically acclaimed album, Mary Casio: Journey to Cassiopea, which is described as a 7-minute odyssey that charts one person’s journey into outer space.

Guests will have the opportunity to meet Hannah after the talk for a special album signing. There is also the option to join beforehand for a pre-event meal at Jodrell Bank’s First Light Café.
