EarthSonic Live
Be part of EarthSonic Live, an all-day and nighttime event with talks, workshops and unique performances sharing the stories of nature, climate, and biodiversity through music at Manchester Museum.
Throughout the day, join workshops, discussions and stalls across the museum with artists, conservationists and activists including Andy Cato (Groove Armada), Tori Tsui, the Climate Choir, the RSPB, and many more.
Sessions include Sam Lee on Nightingales & Music, a biosonification workshop from Brian De’Souza, singing with The Climate Choir, paper lantern making with the RSPB, designing your own container garden with The Cloud Gardener, and using Ableton equipment to make music from frog sounds.
In the evening, we’ll host an intimate and immersive live event featuring a DJ set from the internationally renowned electronic duo Groove Armada, Werkha’s immersive installation Saturama, a screening and Q&A of BICEP’s TAKKUUK and a performance from Natural Symphony – who uses the natural bio-rhythms of plants and trees to create live electronic music.
We’ll be sharing more details in the run-up to the event including how to pre-book for individual sessions, but you can register for the daytime event and buy tickets for the evening event now via DICE.
