The Sampler x Sound and Music

 
From new instrumental works by emerging composers to groundbreaking experimental club nights, from sound installations to electronic phantasmagoria, The Sampler has been at the forefront of showcasing the extraordinary diversity of the UK's new music scene for the last decade.

As we navigate the ever-changing landscapes of new music and sound, we are integrating The Sampler events listings into our Sound and Music website offering a centralised hub for both live and online events, workshops, festivals, and more. This move will help you reach even more people, and we have added functionality to make it even easier to list and find events.

We invite you to be part of this exciting journey by listing your events on our integrated platform, and use the map and our search filters below to find exciting new music and sound events near you.

If you encounter any issues or have any questions about listing events, or about what happened to the old content on thesampler.org, please contact Laonikos.PC@SoundAndMusic.org
