The Glasshouse International Centre for music

About the venue

It?s a place where you can hear rock legends or pop icons on the same night as folk trios or opera singers.

Where new musicians are nurtured and showcased on the same stages as platinum-selling performers. And where youth choirs and tambourine-shaking toddlers practise in the same spaces as our acclaimed orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia. Which is why every year more than 2 million people are able to join us for top-notch gigs, concerts, and classes ? in our own venue at Gateshead Quays, out in communities across the North East, and through livestreamed performances and digital lessons.
