University of Huddersfield to become new home for Sound and Music charity

Description

The University of Huddersfield’s expertise and reputation in contemporary music has seen it become the new base for Sound and Music, the UK’s accelerator for new music and sound.

A not-for-profit organisation, Sound and Music is supported by Arts Council England. It has long-established links with the University of Huddersfield, which houses its British Music Collection contemporary music archive in the Heritage Quay facility on campus.

Professor Rupert Till, Head of Department of Humanities, Professor of Music, said: “Our University has had close links with Sound and Music for over 40 years, if you include its four precursor organisations.  I worked closely with their team to offer them a new home for their summer school a couple of years ago and we’re really pleased to build stronger ties with them. Their philosophy and approach has so much in common with our own and we are looking forward to working more closely with them.”
