The Cobar Sound Chapel is a permanent sound art installation located in Cobar, central western New South Wales, Australia. It was completed in early 2022 and is a creation by composer and sound artist Georges Lentz in collaboration with architect Glenn Murcutt. The Cobar Sound Chapel is an intimate sound space, a marriage of music, architecture, art, poetry, light and nature. The atmosphere of the Sound Chapel changes from serene during the day, to much more intense at night.
Important contributors include The Noise String Quartet and Indigenous artist Sharron Ohlsen.
