MEC Seminar: The future of our venues

Over the past 10 years concert venues have been working hard to demonstrate their value to society beyond the ‘hall one’ programme.  Arts Council England’s Let's Create encourages concert venues to do more to help transform communities through culture. 

Is this approach engaging all communities fairly and leading to more representative and diverse audience experience? This seminar explores the relationship between programme, community, and education. 

Join the MEC panel of concert venue leaders working across programme, creative learning, and community engagement.

Panellists include:

·  Samir Savant, CEO at St George’s Bristol

·  Wendy Smith, Creative Director, Sage Gateshead

·  Clare Cullen, Music Venue Trust

·  Chris Proctor, Head of Programme, B:Music Symphony Hall, Birmingham
