About us

Our mission is to be the base camp for anyone in the UK who wants to make, experience or support new music and sound to shape the modern world.

We deliver artist-centred development programmes and essential funding to young, emerging and established artists breaking new ground across music-making in the UK. We lead research, campaigns, networks, archives and collections to further originality, discovery and equity within music.

For over 15 years, we have worked with thousands of music creators and hundreds of organisations to boost musical creativity, careers, cultures and communities.

Reducing barriers and championing inclusion underpins everything we do driven by our sector leading Fair Access Principles.

Sound and Music is supported by Arts Council England and proud to be a National Youth Music Organisation.
