SoundEscapes

This new project connecting art and music aims to help bring our world-class art museum’s collection to life.

In this collaboration between the Sainsbury Centre and Sound and Music entitled SoundEscapes, ten of the UK’s most exciting composers have been invited to create a new musical piece that can help capture the essence of a work of art in the Centre’s collection.

With artworks spanning 6000 years up to the present day, and including all mediums, the collection is one of the finest in the UK and a celebration of the power of human creativity.

With these compositions, each object in the collection will be able to better tell its life story and engage with audiences in a new and dynamic way, all through the power of music.

The compositions will be able to be heard across the world via the Sainsbury Centre website, and experienced physically in the museum next to the artworks that inspired them.

Following our Living Art relaunch, there have been many ways for people to meet art in a more personal and emotional way in the museum. There is no better way of doing that than with the power of music.

It’s available in the Living Area and on Smartify.
