June - August

EvEnts Diary:JUNE-AUGUST 2012

a what’s on guide to everything we do including: SummerTyne Americana Festival, Musical Mums, West Side Story, Durham Gathering, Silver Summer Festival, Northern Sinfonia Summer Chamber Series

of our year-end students’ concerts and events (an exciting preview of tomorrow’s young professional musicians), and our various Summer Schools. Then, during August and early September you’ll find the building quieter than normal since this is the one annual period when we can do all our maintenance, repairs and improvements to be ready for the autumn season. However, some of our Concourse programmes continue through the summer before our autumn concerts, learning and participation programmes all resume in mid-September.

We greatly appreciate your continuing support, and whatever in this diary draws you to The Sage Gateshead, I hope you have an enjoyable and rewarding visit.

Welcome to the first of our new quarterly diaries, now covering an extra month to make it easier to plan further ahead - and of course remember that our website has information about other events further into the future.

Three of the festivals this quarter offer rewarding mixes of popular culture - the NewcastleGateshead Comedy Festival (Hall Two is a wonderfully immediate space for comedy); the seventh ¡VAMOS! Festival (celebrating Spanish and Portuguese cultures), and our own seventh SummerTyne Americana Festival, increasingly acclaimed as the country’s most concentrated Americana showcase.

The Hallé’s welcome visit presages the return of visiting orchestras in 2012/13, while Northern Sinfonia finish their current season with a delicious programme playing to all principal conductor Mario Venzago’s greatest strengths. After that concert Northern Sinfonia present their popular summer chamber music season, in a strong

chamber music quarter alongside the Northern Chords (chamber) Festival and the completion of the superb Belcea Quartet cycle of Beethoven’s 16 string quartets.

In recent years we’ve been building up a network of global relationships with many of today’s most exciting singer-songwriters, and this quarter you can enjoy the distinctive worlds of Ireland’s Mary Black; American pioneer Suzanne Vega, the remarkable multi-instrumentalist and singer Sarah Jarosz - and our own home-grown Kathryn Williams.

Special events this quarter include the second leg of our four-year Opera North cycle of Wagner’s Ring (The Valkyries), the exciting arrival of the Olympic Torch on our roof at first light and our Olympic ‘JigHop’ (a vivid new blend of music and dance, marrying traditional NE tunes and dances with hiphop urban culture), and our keenly awaited staging of West Side Story for the countrywide Cultural Olympiad.

With summer come many
