Sound Diplomacy

Sound Diplomacy is the leader of the Music Cities movement, which sees culture built into the urban environment through policy. We assess the value of a music in cities and places, across tourism and urban development. We identify growth areas, engage stakeholders and communities, and produce strategies to unlock all the benefits of a strong music economy.

We are the strategic force behind the Mayor of London’s Night Time Commission and Night Czar initiative. We advise governments in Cuba (on behalf of the UN), cities including Vancouver, Brisbane, Cardiff and San Francisco; wrote Katowice’s successful UNESCO City of Music bid; and have founded the leading series of conferences on music and cities.
