I am so proud of what our team has achieved at Manchester International Festival since we started in 2005. It’s a real privilege to Chair MIF, I hope you’ll enjoy these shows, and more to be announced next year, will MIF19 be the best yet ? Who knows, they are all new commissions, book and find out !

100 years ago #otd the death of the Austrian painter Egon Schiele (born 12 June 1890, died 31 October 31 1918) // 'For art and my loved ones I will endure to the end!' (Self-portrait as prisoner, 1912) //

I’ve been #vegetarian for decades but I haven’t lost my sense of humour. Think it’s ridiculous that William Sitwell has been forced to resign from Waitrose & Partners magazine

Well someone sure knows how to throw a party - brilliant night thank you Ross Mackenzie and to Graeme Park ⭐️⭐️ Vebalicious is Still a DisGrace Jones for keeping us dancing all night, and for all the staff for putting up with us at Soughton Hall Happy 50th Ross x
