Here's a look back at the Key Changers in the early stages of preparing to run their own festival in 2023...
Key Change Northumberland
Funded by Youth Music, Key Change Northumberland is an ambitious project from Queen’s Hall Arts in partnership with Youth Groups in the Tyne Valley and Core Music CIC.
“It’s crucial we enable more young people to make, learn and earn in music, whatever their background or goal. That’s why we’re excited to invest in innovative projects like Key Change Northumberland, providing crucial hands-on experience for young people in live events.”
Key Change Northumberland places young people at its heart with a focus on supporting participants to progress their skills and experience in order to have succeeded in presenting a brand-new festival in 2023 and more exciting events in 2024.
“It’s a good opportunity to show adults that kids can take responsibility and create something for everyone to enjoy.”
The group benefit from ongoing support from the Queen's Hall Arts team alongside workshops and activities from music industry professionals and facilitators. This is a unique opportunity to experience running an event and to learn about the professions that work behind the scenes in the music industry.
Arts Awards at different levels are also offered to participants.
