THEME NIGHT ACADEMY

About the Academy

What is the Academy?

For more than a decade now, the Academy has provided a platform for older teenagers to perform with their peers in a professional, safe and friendly environment. It also involves a broader educational programme, facilitating numerous specialist masterclasses, workshops and performance opportunities for teenagers of the region. These are delivered to the teens by industry professionals, addressing areas such as songwriting, arranging, and performance, as well as production and technical work.

Events such as Teenage Theme Nights and the Young Songwriters’ Showcase offer teens a space to perform their own music as well as that of their favourite artists, in a theatre environment to their peers with a professional band. Open Mics, a recent addition to the programme, provide an informal space for new performers to get involved and to play with new musicians.

Through these activities, we aim to nurture the musical development of young people, providing them with skills to help them succeed in their own lives, and in music.

The Academy provides teenagers with invaluable musical experience and encourages them to explore music further in their own lives.
