The Glasshouse

Join us for Sage Gateshead’s first ever overnight event, as Sara Mohr-Pietsch and Hannah Peel host a 4-hour immersive deep night musical adventure from the team behind Radio 3’s ‘Night Tracks’.

Live performances include a special collaboration between multi-instrumentalist Memotone and his father, nature writer Chris Yates, who take us on a night walk through moonlit forests and nocturnal landscapes; Manchester Collective breath new life into music spanning 900 years from Hildegard of Bingen to Edmund Finnis, including Arnold Schoenberg’s luminous ‘Transfigured Night’; Newcastle-based electronic folk innovator Jayne Dent aka Me Lost Me captures the nocturnal atmosphere with original songs and reworkings of traditional ballads; and Xenia Pestova Bennett and Ed Bennett invite us to lose ourselves in meditative music by Egidija Medeksaite, Gayle Young and JS Bach, in a radical reinterpretation of the Goldberg Variations for piano and live electronics. Something very special to stay awake for.
