“Surrey Arts always seems to
have something excellent going on,
whatever the weather.”
I Speak Music - Community Orchestra
INTRODUCTION
Surrey Arts has been proudly providing over 50 years of
music tuition and 26 years of arts development services
to the residents of Surrey
Surrey Arts’ aim is to provide the communities of Surrey
opportunities to engage in arts activities, to help develop a sense
of space and to enrich peoples’ lives. We strongly believe that
everyone in our community should have equal access to the arts.
We are only able to realise this
ambition by working together
with an amazing group of
cultural partners, public sector
organisations and other groups,
as well as a diverse team of
volunteers who support
what we do.
Thank you to everyone that
has worked with us to develop
fantastic opportunities for
the people of Surrey to be
creative and be inspired.
- Sarah Lee,
Head of Surrey Arts

musical opportunities to children and young people across Surrey,
both in schools and in the wider community.
Surrey Music Hub is also part of the South East Hub Alliance that

The Horley Project
The Horley Project has now entered its second year. This
project was originally set up at the behest of schools to
meet a local need to build up instrumental learning in
Horley schools. Learners from the first year have now
entered regular group lessons at their school, or in the
new after school music centre at Oakwood School.
A fresh new batch of woodwind and brass learners
joined the project this year, further building up
the new Horley Orchestra. The rehearsals have
been great fun, and have even continued
online during the lockdown.
