Our Mission
At Create Music, the Music Hub for Brighton & Hove and East Sussex, our mission is to centre the voices of children, young people and adults in our cities, towns and villages. We inspire engagement with a diverse range of music genres and activities. We co-design, teach, develop and showcase participants by connecting them with teachers, youth workers, creative practitioners and cultural workers. We provide access to information, expertise, space and resources to facilitate learning and innovation in music. Our priorities include relevance to local identities, nurturing talent and exploring the synergy between high-quality provision and creative risk-taking.
