Visitors to Addenbrooke's Treatment Centre can listen to a unique sound installation which offers an insight into hospital life.

The installation - which is in place until Friday, December 8, is a wooden roundhouse where visitors can experience 360-degree audio with the voices of 100 people from different hospitals reflecting on their daily lives and work - exploring their challenges, joys, inspirations and losses.

'100 VOICES' was created by Cambridge-based composer Hannah Conway and librettist Hazel Gould, after five months of research, workshops and conversations with staff, patients and visitors in 12 hospitals.

Hazel Gould and Hannah Conway said: "We seek to represent a true cross-section of the incredible encounters we had during our time in the hospitals.

"The voices span age, class, race and gender, displaying the enormous range of identities, backgrounds, perspectives, and experience that congregate under the umbrella of the NHS.

"This piece aims to be an authentic snapshot of people, place, and time. We have created music from the sound of the voices but the words remain unchanged."

The 100 VOICES visit to Addenbrooke's is supported by the Cambridge University Hospitals Arts Team and Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT).

The installation previously visited Bristol and Preston in November.
