New chair joins Glasshouse board

ANDY HALDANE has been selected as the new chair of The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, taking up post in the autumn.

Most recently chief executive of the Royal Society of Arts, Haldane was also chief economist at the Bank of England and permanent secretary for Levelling Up.

Among his other current roles, Haldane is chancellor of the University of Sheffield, chief economic advisor at PricewaterhouseCoopers and a member of the advisory board of the Bradford Literature Festival and the South Yorkshire Mayor’s Economic Advisory Council.

“As someone born in the North East and whose father was a musician, I know the pivotal role music and culture plays in lifting everyone’s lives” said Haldene. 

“I look forward to working with the exceptional team at The Glasshouse and my fellow Board members in unleashing even more of that creativity and opportunity for people in the North East and beyond”
