WSA Film Music Programme moves online

Because of the international nature of our WSA audience, we deem it prudent to no longer go ahead with a live WSA industry programme. Ticket holders will be contacted for a refund. Instead, the WSA has opted to continue with a limited online programme, while also moving some events to next year.

Luckily, for film music fans all over the world, the World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert will be a free, online edition, livestreamed on 24 October, 8pm CET. From anywhere in the world, from behind your laptop, smartphone or tablet, you will be able to follow the award ceremony and concert. Check this website and follow our Vimeo and Youtube channels to make sure you don't miss our exclusive online content, which will be available from Saturday 24 October onwards.
