The North East Festival of Youth Choirs was a wonderful celebration of young voices from across our region. More than 1,200 young people came together at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music for a full day of music‑making. We are deeply grateful to The Glasshouse team for their partnership, support, and hard work in helping make this event so special.

In partnership with our NEMH Lead Schools and Music Mark, we were delighted to welcome primary and secondary music teachers from across the region to the Glasshouse International Centre for Music, for two inspiring days of professional development where we explored new ideas, built confidence, and strengthened their practice through keynote sessions, practical workshops, and shared musical experiences. From confidence‑boosting singing sessions to thought‑provoking breakouts led by expert practitioners, both events showcased the passion and dedication that drive music education forward in the North East.

North East music educators are invited to join us at our fantastic CPD days at The Glasshouse, January 2026

Our Mini Mercury Choir made up of young people from across the region performed as part of the Mercury Fringe Festival

We look forward to welcoming music teachers to our two CPD days in January 2026
