On 27 December 2017, Paravicini was featured on an episode of Mind Field with Michael Stevens. The episode explored his musical ability and the science of the mind of a savant.
On 9 March 2013, Paravicini appeared with Adam Ockelford at TEDxWarwick. During the talk, Ockelford discussed Paravicini's amazing musical abilities, while Paravicini demonstrated them.
