The Sage Gateshead is a renowned concert hall and music education center situated on the southern bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead, near Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. Designed by the acclaimed architect Norman Foster and opened to the public in 2004, this iconic building forms part of the Gateshead Quays development. Its unique, curvilinear shape, made of glass and stainless steel, is visible from the Newcastle riverside, creating a distinctive and modern addition to the skyline. The Sage Gateshead includes three performance spaces- Hall One, Hall Two, and the Northern Rock Foundation Hall. Each is acoustically designed to host a diverse range of musical performances, from classical to pop and everything in between. The venue also serves an educational purpose, offering extensive music education and community outreach programs. It is home to the Royal Northern Sinfonia, a well-respected UK chamber orchestra. The venue is not only a cultural asset for the North East of England but also a symbol of the region's regeneration and investment in the arts.
