Sage Gateshead
Gateshead, UK 1997 – 2004

The Sage Gateshead is home to Northern Sinfonia and a base for Folkworks, it fills the gap for music venues in the North-East providing three auditoriums. The largest performance space is a state-of-the-art concert hall with 1,650 seats. The second can be arranged to suit folk, jazz and chamber performances seating up to 400. The third space is both a rehearsal hall for Northern Sinfonia and the focus of the Music School. The entire complex is sheltered beneath a broad, enveloping roof that is ‘shrink-wrapped’ around the buildings beneath and extends over the concourse.
