Riccardo Minasi live in Gateshead

Experience Riccardo Minasi live on April 30th

Riccardo Minasi will perform at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead on April 30, 2027. Minasi is an Italian conductor known for his dynamic interpretations of both standard orchestral repertoire and lesser-known works, frequently praised for his energetic performances and meticulous attention to detail. His conducting style often highlights clarity of texture and a dramatic approach to phrasing, encompassing Romantic and 20th/21st-century compositions. He has worked with numerous international orchestras and is recognised for championing contemporary composers alongside established masters.

The Glasshouse, officially opening in late 2023, represents a significant investment in the cultural landscape of the North East of England. It’s formed through the redevelopment and integration of The Sage Gateshead and The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. The venue aims to be a national resource for music education and performance, offering a range of spaces including two concert halls – a 1,300 seat hall and a more intimate 450 seat hall – alongside rehearsal rooms, learning spaces and public areas. The building's design incorporates sustainable practices and aims to maximize accessibility for all audiences.
