This song is the second pre-festival commission and will be performed by 8,000 school children from Manchester and across the Northwest and a special guest singer at Manchester’s MEN Arena on Monday December 4.
Alex Poots, Festival Director of Manchester International Festival, said: "As the only commissioning festival in the world we very much wanted to give something to the people of Manchester.
