Experience Royal Northern Sinfonia live on February 21st

Royal Northern Sinfonia is a British orchestra renowned for its dynamic and versatile performances, encompassing a broad repertoire from Baroque to contemporary compositions. The orchestra has a particular focus on commissioning and performing new works, alongside established orchestral classics, and is known for its innovative programming and community engagement. It holds the distinction of being one of the United Kingdom’s leading professional orchestras based outside of London.

The concert will take place at The Glasshouse International Centre For Music in Gateshead. Opened in November 2023, The Glasshouse represents a significant investment in music performance infrastructure for the North East of England. It is formed from the renovation and combination of two existing venues: Sage Gateshead and the Newcastle City Hall.

The Glasshouse aims to be a national resource for music education and performance, hosting a wide range of genres including classical, contemporary, jazz, and popular music. Its design incorporates two distinct concert halls – the Sage Concert Hall (approximately 1,650 capacity) and the Newcastle City Hall (approximately 1,950 capacity) – alongside smaller spaces for rehearsal, learning and creative development. The complex also prioritises accessibility and sustainability in its operations.
