Our annual Big Gig has become a legendary celebration of all of our Wider Opportunities programmes in Newcastle.
Each year, thousands of primary-aged children from schools across Newcastle get together at Sports Central at Northumbria University to showcase their achievements, with a morning of workshop activities and an afternoon performance for teachers, parents and carers.
This year is a bit different! For our virtual event, we are celebrating the pieces from our Local Heroes project which featured in the spring and summer terms of 2020, providing an opportunity for everyone to get involved with making music from home.
With special thanks to Dr Paul Whittaker OBE, Georgina Biddle, Gareth Miller, Rachael McShane, Jonathan Proud, all the Music Partnership North tutors and staff and students from Beech Hill Primary School, Darras Hall Primary School, Kenton School, Newminster Middle School, Our Lady & St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, St Paul’s C of E Primary School and West Denton Primary School.
