Sound and Music

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sound and Music is the national agency for new music. Their work includes composer and artist support and development, partnerships with a range of organisations, live events and audience development, touring, information and advice, network building, and education.

Sound and Music champion new music and the work of British composers and artists, promoting and supporting contemporary music, sound art and experimental music in the United Kingdom. It was established in 2008 from the merger of four existing bodies working in the contemporary music field: the Society for the Promotion of New Music, the British Music Information Centre, the Contemporary Music Network and the Sonic Arts Network.[1]

The scores and recordings of the British Music Information Centre are now owned by Sound and Music, and are held at the University of Huddersfield in the Archives and Special Collections under the name the British Music Collection. The Collection joined the Google Cultural Institute in 2014.

Sound and Music is funded as a National Portfolio Organisation by Arts Council England[2] but supports projects throughout the United Kingdom.
