Who We Are

About Heritage Sound

A community interest company with music at its heart and people at its soul.

🎶
2014 Founded

Preserving Heritage. Building Community. Sharing Music.

Heritage Sound Collective CIC was founded with a single belief: that great music belongs to everyone. As a registered Community Interest Company in the United Kingdom, every penny we earn is reinvested into our community programmes, free concerts, and artist development.

We work with schools, care homes, arts centres, and local councils to bring live musical performance to people who might otherwise never experience it. Our repertoire spans classical, folk, jazz, world music, and contemporary works, always anchored in the rich heritage of British and global musical traditions.

Our CIC status means we are legally bound to serve the community interest. We are governed by a community board, transparent in our finances, and accountable to the people we serve.
