Manchester International Festival is a showcase of innovative art which takes over spaces in the city for a few weeks every two years. What we consider to fall under the category of arts and culture is often challenged by groundbreaking and immersive masterpieces.
But the art festival offers variety - and that means doing the more traditional stuff too. Sonic Geography is a prime example of that.
The one-off show at the Bridgewater Hall sees the BBC Philharmonic play new music inspired by the climate crisis. The first piece, a world premiere by Grammy Award-winning composer John Luther Adams, takes the audience on a journey through arctic landscapes.
