The Yorkshire Wind Ensemble recently took part in the BBC's A Symphony for Yorkshire project. The symphony was written by Benjamin Till and features over 200 musicians from across Yorkshire performing in varied locations from York Minster, Spurn Point and the Humber Bridge to the terraced streets of Sheffield and Leeds.
The four movements of the symphony portray different aspects of Yorkshire, both musically and visually. The ensemble was primarily involved in the first movement, but also performed in the second and fourth movements. Filming took place at Ovenden Moor Wind Farm near Halifax.
You can read more about the symphony on the BBC News website or view it in full on YouTube.
