Are you excited about music and performance? Want to explore all the cool career opportunities in the music world but don’t know where to start? Well, look no further.

A work experience week at The Glasshouse is the perfect chance to get hands-on experience in everything from lighting and stage set ups to classical music and artist development.

About The Glasshouse International Centre for Music

At The Glasshouse, you’ll find everything from rock legends and pop icons to folk bands and opera singers, all on the same stage. We’re a place where new musicians shine next to platinum-selling artists and where everyone from youth choirs to toddlers shaking tambourines share the same creative spaces as our famous orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia. Whether you’re behind the scenes, front of house, or helping out with tech, you’ll be part of a team that makes sure two million people enjoy fantastic gigs, concerts, and classes – both in person and online across the North East.

About you

Are you motivated, love working with others, and can adapt to new challenges? If that sounds like you, then we’d love to hear more. Don’t worry if you’re not a perfect match for the job description and criteria, we’d love you to apply anyway. We are more interested in your determination, positivity, and willingness to get stuck in.

About the role

Throughout the week, you’ll rotate between different departments, giving you the chance to explore all the behind-the-scenes activities that keep everything running smoothly! Here’s a link to some of the things students got up to last year: It’s off to work we go at The Glasshouse | The Glasshouse
