Emmy and BAFTA-nominated composer Natalie Holt takes audiences through the complexities of scoring for massive franchise properties. From the expressive freedom of scoring LOKI – for which her score earned two 2022 Emmy nominations for “Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music” and “Outstanding Music Composition for a Series”, to the distinct pallet of the Star Wars universe in OBI-WAN KENOBI, each proved to be a challenge to find the musical voice needed for each project. Audiences will take away information about the demo process for Marvel Studios and tips on how to make your musical voice stand out, as well as practices on how to adapt well-known themes and make them sound fresh for modern audiences.

It is absolutely perfectly fine to announce this in Orchestration Online. It would be an honour to have it as a post. Go Natalie!
