City of Floating Sounds invites you to travel through the city listening to fragments of Huang Ruo's new symphony before its world premiere at Aviva Studios. You can make your own way to the venue or join in at one of our suggested starting places. This route begins in Sackville Gardens.

At 1.2 miles, this is the second longest route, suitable for those comfortable travelling slightly longer distances, and moving at a slightly quicker pace.

This route combines the melodies of the orchestral symphony with the dynamic sounds of the urban environment of central Manchester.

Starting at Sackville Gardens, this route will take you through the city centre and past St Peter’s Square, for the most part avoiding main thoroughfares in favour of quieter streets.

You'll then travel through the peaceful St John’s Gardens and arrive at the Water Street entrance to Aviva Studios.
