Soundscapes
Skipton Camerata presents Soundscapes, an immersive audio-video installation created by projection artist Michaela French and composer Ben Crick showcasing the diverse scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. Projected inside a purpose-built hemispherical dome, Soundscapes combines 360° videography with a symphonic soundtrack inspired by the landscape.
The story behind the music-and-nature installation, the design and construction of the dome, and the health and wellbeing reasons that motivated the project are told in the enclosing exhibition.
Soundscapes is funded by Arts Council England, Skipton Building Society, the Tarn Moor Estate and Northumbria University.
The gallery is open Mon-Sat, 9.30am-4.30pm. Entry is free.

Skipton Camerata
Founded in 2004 by its artistic director, Ben Crick, Skipton Camerata is North Yorkshire’s only professional orchestra and is the Skipton Town Hall orchestra in residence. Skipton Camerata’s primary purpose is the delivery of live classical music to a national standard in areas of limited provision across Yorkshire. They want to remove barriers that prevent people from engaging with classical music. They believe everyone should be able to enjoy high-quality live orchestral music.
