Ben Palmer live in Gateshead

Experience Ben Palmer live on December 20th

Ben Palmer’s performance is scheduled for December 20, 2026, at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead, United Kingdom. Palmer is a British composer and conductor known for his cinematic and emotionally resonant instrumental music, often incorporating elements of post-rock, ambient, and neo-classical styles. His work frequently features layered textures and dynamic arrangements, drawing influences from artists like Max Richter and Ólafur Arnalds. He has gained recognition through film scoring, collaborations with various ensembles, and independent album releases.

The Glasshouse International Centre for Music represents a significant recent development in the cultural landscape of Gateshead and the wider North East region. Officially opened in November 2023, it is a partnership between Gateshead Council and Sage Gateshead – formerly known as The Sage – aiming to create a national centre for music education and performance. The venue incorporates two concert halls: a 1,200-capacity hall and a more intimate 450-capacity space. It is built on the site of the former Gateshead multi-storey car park and forms part of the larger Gateshead Quays regeneration project.
