Moving Music in Manchester Museum

22 November 2025: We were thrilled to collaborate with Manchester’s Ryebank singers at EarthSonic Live, an event bringing a fabulous range of talks and music sharing stories of nature, climate, and biodiversity. Climate Movement singers from Sheffield, Nottingham, Wyre Forest, Oxford, Bristol and London popped up across the museum, singing to the more-than-human diversity of our world, at times under the skeleton of a sperm whale! A workshop led by Kai Honey, our musical director, took themes of singing as emotional resilience, meaning-making and community building. Participants had a great time learning the Ryebank Song, which they will no doubt be singing all the way home after a packed, enlivening and moving day. (Lyrics)
