Leadership Group

The North East Music Hub operates as a collaborative consortium comprising the local authorities of Durham and Darlington, Gateshead, Newcastle, Northumberland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, and Sunderland. Within this framework, Music Leads and Service Managers from each authority form the Consortium Leadership Group, working together to oversee and coordinate all Music Hub activities. As part of this group sits the Music Hub Project Officer role who supports through facilitation and coordination. This unified approach ensures that music education and opportunities are effectively developed and promoted across the region, fostering a vibrant musical culture for all participants.
