Ben Crick outside Skipton Castle by Lorne Campbell/Guzelian Pictures SKIPTON musician, Ben Crick, conductor of the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra, has been commissioned by tourism body Welcome to Yorkshire to write a new composition. A preview of ‘Yorkshire for All’ was released to coincide with last week’s Yorkshire Day on August 1. It aims to celebrate the diversity of the region and demonstrate that the arts, in particular classical music, is accessible and inclusive to all communities. The Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra (YSO) was reformed this year to support freelance northern musicians hit hard by the pandemic. It will play the piece live at The Great Yorkshire Proms at Harewood House , near Leeds, where the orchestra is due to make its debut appearance on September 4, alongside guests opera star Sir Willard White and singer Aled Jones.
