Bradford 2025 and Opera North have invited composers Caterina Barbieri, Nyokabi Kariûki and Gwen Siôn to create new music and sound works inspired by Penistone Hill – and by the music of Bradford-born composer Frederick Delius. 

The dramatic soundscape will take in everything from electronic innovations to African influences, woven together with field recordings by Sarah Keirle, new poetry written by Bradford-born poet Nabeelah Hafeez and performances of Delius’s music by the Orchestra of Opera North. 

This ever-changing sound world uses state-of-the-art geolocation technology: what you hear through your headphones is triggered by every step you take. Find out more at Bradford 2025.

The Brontë Parsonage Museum is a Bradford 2025 partner. Museum staff are on hand to help you experience the Earth & Sky audio soundscape.
