Skelmanthorpe set to illuminate Holmfirth

There are some great attractions for young and old at the forthcoming Holmfirth Arts Festival — including some light and sound from Skelmanthorpe.

Tuesday, 15 May 2012

The popular Holmfirth Arts Festival will incorporate a number of brass band attractions this year during its eleven days of music, art, comedy, theatre and literature.

Award winning

The event runs from 14th to 24th June and will see performances from MOBO award winning trumpeter Matthew Halsall with Brighouse & Rastrick, as well as Skelmanthorpe Band.

Repiano

A great deal of interest has been created with an innovative art installation entitled, ‘Repiano’, which celebrates the sights and sounds of the brass band.

Made out of light and live music, and using digital projection, recorded sounds and players from Skelmanthorpe, it can be enjoyed in the interior of the local Holy Trinity Church, which will be transformed by a collage of music and sound.
