Participate

Participation, exploration and education are at the heart of sound.

We offer a range of creative workshops, discussions and masterclasses for all ages.

At the heart of Sound's mission statement is inclusion. This isn't a festival that plays rarefied music in darkened rooms to select crowds of initiates.
