Intangible Sounds: Manchester Histories Festival

Intangible Sounds : Manchester Histories

Researchers from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Manchester Met present a day of public talks and workshops on music and sound heritages, followed by a night time music and performance event. Both the daytime activities and the evening gig will explore how music, sound and sonic experiences constantly interweave with both time and place: creating emotions, evoking memories and bonding us into many different kinds of community.

This event is supported by AHEAD - Arts & Humanities Engagement and Dialogue, Manchester Met’s Engagement Programme for making a positive impact through research
