Adam Gock and John Gray will be coming to Bangalow on the 11th of April to talk about how they developed their careers and current opportunities for screen composers in Australia. This information and networking event is the perfect opportunity for screen composers and industry practitioners to gain insight into the industry and connect with early career screen composers.
This event will be held at St. Kevin’s Hall, on the 11th of April from 5pm. Starting with a short introduction from our guests and then opening up for a Q&A session before heading over the road to the Bangalow Hotel for refreshments and networking at 7pm.
Adam Gock is one of Australia’s most popular contemporary screen composers.
