From cutting-edge research to magnificent live performances, there is a musical experience for everyone at The Arts Institute.
Through the commissioning and development of new music, alongside supporting new talent and bringing world-class musicians to Plymouth, The Arts Institute is pivotal to the growing music scene across the South West; this includes our programme of participatory community music partnership activities.
The ‘new music’ flagship event is the annual Contemporary Music Festival, promoted in partnership with the University of Plymouth’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR).
