Newham Music

John Bergin has transformed Newham Music into one of the UK’s most dynamic cultural forces. As CEO, he leads the country’s only Music Education Hub recognised as an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation, a distinction that places Newham Music on the national stage. Each year, over 20,000 young people in Newham access music, performance and careers in creative industries. From award-winning community operas to pioneering SEND programmes, he has redefined how music can inspire a generation.
