Sounding the Feminists has announced a free workshop on writing about music taking place at IMRO in Dublin on 18 October.

‘Pitch Perfect: Write It!’ will explore the principles of writing about music, including how to convey the sound of music with words, connecting with readers when writing about music, and which forms of media will work best for you and your audience.

Contributors include Niall Byrne, founder of Nialler9; Irish Times classical music reviewer Michael Dervan; Melanie Lynch, Founder and CEO of Herstory; Toner Quinn, editor of the Journal of Music; Helen Shaw, founder and CEO of Athena Media and former MD of RTÉ Radio; and musicologist, media scholar and activist Danielle Sofer.
