Kraków Film Music Festival 2023: Event with Steven Price, guest of Penderecki Conservatory, etc.

As is the last few years, Yati is in the jury of the Krakow FMF Young Talent Award and will be attending the festival as a special guest. The Krakow FMF takes place from 23rd - 30th May 2023 and features many enormous film music concerts, events and panels (http://fmf.fm/en) featuring the world’s most important film music composers.

This year, Yati will take moderate two events. On Sunday, 28th May at 11am, Yati will moderate the Forum interview with BAFTA and Academy Award winning composer Steven Price (Gravity, Baby Driver, Fury, etc.). Yati will also moderate the International Media Music and Sound Arts Network in Education panel (IMMSANE) with educators and professionals from Conservatories and Universities, on the same day at 15:15. To cap off the education component of Yati’s visit to Krakow FMF, he is going to be visiting all the nominated young composers to work with them at Krzysztof Penderecki’s retreat in Luslawice.

Finally, Yati is invited to give a lecture as a guest of the Penderecki Conservatory of Music in Krakow (Date TBC), from Prof. Dr. Mateusz Bien. It’ll be a busy week!
