Musicians have recreated a selection of once-popular works by female composers whose pieces have been forgotten over time.
Leeds Conservatoire students used sheet music in the city's Museums and Galleries collection to recreate the work.
The project, marking Women's History Month, aims to bring the music to life for modern audiences.
The completed pieces can be heard in an online exhibition.
Kitty Ross, the galleries' curator of social history, said: "For many years now, the pieces of music they created to express themselves existed only on paper, forgotten over the passage of time and never recorded or shared with a modern audience."
