Read the latest issue of Sounding Board journal

In this second issue of Sounding Board for 2025, we're reflecting on the range of inspiring, engaging and thought-provoking presentations and discussions from our Community Music Now event, which took place on 1&2 March in Leeds in partnership with AMP and Leeds Beckett University. This edition offers a window into some of the diverse practices, ideas and questions explored across the two days of the event. We hope it provides a flavour of the energy and exchange that took place, both for those who were with us in Leeds and for those who couldn’t attend in person. Even for those who were there, it was impossible to be everywhere at once – so this issue is also a chance to catch up on moments and perspectives you might have missed! Read the latest issue here >
