Twelve different events spread across five days present a diverse collection of music, including concert music, structured improvisations, performers with realtime electronics, acousmatic electronic music, and audio-centric video games. This year’s festival is organised by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Composition and Technology, a newly formed group composers and technologists working at the intersection of sound, computers and visual media.

Intimate Letters (Manchester Collective) 8pm, Buyer’s Club
Co-Presented by the International Anthony Burgess Foundation for the #Burgess100 Centenary.
JANÁČEK String Quartet No. 2, "Intimate Letters"
BELLING Inside Mr Enderby. World Premiere
With "Inside Mr Enderby", we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Anthony Burgess, the Mancunian author of the controversial novel, "A Clockwork Orange". This electrifying song cycle by Huw Belling is the first in Manchester Collective's series of annual commissions, designed to bring some of the most exciting international voices in new music to the north west.
The programme also features Leoš Janáček's emotionally charged string quartet, Intimate Letters. Said to be Janáček's "manifesto on love", the work concerns his relationship with Kamila Stösslová, a married woman 38 years his junior.
Both works feature Mitch Riley, celebrated Australian baritone and Artistic Associate with Sydney Chamber Opera, currently in residence at the École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris.
