SAE UK and SAE Milan have evolved their partnership through a live show with Skunk Anansie and their guitarist Ace, Head of Industry and Brand Partnerships at SAE UK.
As part of their European tour, Skunk Anansie played a huge sold out show at the Sequoie Music Park Festival in Bologna.
SAE Milan Audio production students met local technical partner, dBTechnologies, the main PA and pro audio logistics partner for the event for a workshop.
As part of their experience, students were also able to watch Skunk Anansie’s line check, sound check and meet the band too.
Commenting, Ace said: “It’s really fantastic to be enhancing these relationships with our European counterparts that can lead to students gaining more experience, developing their networks and connections. I’m looking forward to furthering this partnership with SAE Milan and enhancing how the SAE family of colleges works together to build the future of music education.”
SAE Milan’s Giulia Franceschini said: “Our experience in Bologna is a perfect example of how SAE Institute collaborates with many major players in the creative industry. Thanks to our collaboration with SAE UK and our strong connection with dB Technologies – one of the leading Italian pro audio companies, providing sound systems to some of the most renowned festivals in Italy – our students had the unique chance to attend Skunk Anansie’s soundcheck and show at Sequoie Music Park, as well as visit the dB Technologies headquarters.”
“Meeting such legendary artists and remarkable audio experts, as well as experiencing the technical side of a large-scale live event firsthand, is something they will always cherish.”
In September, SAE Milan will be hosting a week of events exploring the latest music industry trends and technology with SAE UK students invited to attend.
