Join the first Multi-City Music Census Cohort
Sound Music Cities invites you to be part of its first multi-city music census cohort of up to 25 cities featuring:
Directly comparable datasets
Post-pandemic music industry recovery status
Unique-to-city opportunities and constraints
Collaborative problem-solving sessions
The cost per city is $18,500. Join the growing list of cities moving into measurement and action to build your music ecosystem. Communities fund the music census through community foundations, local non-profits, chambers of commerce, tourism offices, downtown associations, city government, or a combination of these entities.
Hold your spot in the cohort with your $5,000 deposit. The cohort opened in June 2023 and runs through June 2024. Join by September 1, 2023. All cities will start their Census within the first 10 months (by March 2024), with strong encouragement to start before the end of 2023 in order to maximize the benefits of the Cohort.
Our Music Census™ collects key data points to better understand music people and their economic activity within a specific geography. It provides a baseline for policymakers and the larger community to understand and take action.
