Who we are

We're SparkedEcho, a music organisation working with people across Kent and Sussex. We want a community rooted in exciting music encounters enjoyed by all. We believe engaging with music makes us more connected, healthier and creative. We run exciting projects in collaboration with local artists working in music, sound, theatre, film, education, games and technology.
