Read The New Surrey Music Strategy
Released on May 17, 2023, the new Surrey Music Strategy will guide Surrey to become a music industry leader that supports musician development and a thriving music economy.
Surrey is committed to supporting local music development and strengthening the social and cultural fabric of the City.
The Surrey Music Strategy is a cross-departmental tool that provides recommendations on how best to develop a growing music economy across all Surrey town centres.
Framed around seven strategic pillars, the Surrey Music Strategy is designed to ensure that music development reflects its community and its local needs.
A. Amplify Surrey’s Music Talent and Supportive Resources
B. Continue Building Bridges between the City and Surrey’s Diverse Music Communities
C. Improve Access to Places and Spaces for Music
D. Establish Surrey’s Music Identity
E. Expand Audience Awareness and Engagement
F. Advance Municipal Leadership and Support
G. Encourage Music Tourism and Placemaking
Each strategic pillar includes recommendations and ongoing, short, medium, and long-term actions for successful implementation.
By taking action in each of these key areas, Surrey can build a diverse, inclusive, and thriving music scene.
Throughout the City, an estimated 350,000, or 62% of residents, regularly engage with music. It is estimated that 1.5 million attendees enjoyed music in Surrey in 2019. Supporting the next generation of Surrey artists is key to building a music city for years to come. Developing a vibrant music scene can also support diversity, inclusion, cultural development, and placemaking in Surrey.
