Surrey County Council to work with Guildford-based music organisations on new music hub following Arts Council grant
A new music hub that will work with Guildford education facilities and live venues such as University of Surrey, the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) and G Live could soon be built after Surrey County Council was granted £2.9 million grant by the Arts Council England.
The money will be received over a three-year period and will bring together the council's Surrey Arts service, schools and other organisations to offer musical opportunities to young people throughout the county, including the Guildford borough.

"This is marvellous news," said Surrey County Council's Cabinet Member for Community Services and the 2012 Games Helyn Clack.
