Iconic Manchester landmark The Refuge Assurance Building, known these days as The Palace Hotel, forms a backdrop to one of the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music) Beethoven Festival banners.
The Spring Semester begins with a talk by RNCM composer Gary Carpenter on his latest collaboration, The Listening Project Symphony.
It's part of the BBC/British Library Listening Project initiative in which excerpts from a number of conversations are thematically grouped and musicalised. This seminar explores the strategems and processes involved in realising an alternative dialogue stream between the (pre-recorded) spoken voice and (live) orchestra.

I love how the perspective on this shot has made the poster look the same size as the building.
