Jenny Harris - Associate
Jenny’s programming, commissioning, fundraising and marketing experience, plus her experience as an artist, mean she’s right at home in the hub’s ‘think and do tank’ environment. At the hub, Jenny gets to use her producer’s ‘toolkit’ across our creative projects and apply her expert knowledge to a range of our music and creative industries projects. Most recently, she has worked on our New Yorkshire Music project, which researched and scoped out a business support model for small music businesses in the region.
Jenny had a successful career as a freelance musician for a number of years before deciding to trade in her amp and life on the road for a supporting role, working in arts management.
In her role as Senior Music Officer at Leeds International Concert Season, Jenny developed and produced the critically acclaimed and popular inaugural FUSELEEDS festival, which featured artists as diverse as American post rock outfit Yo La Tengo, the London Sinfonietta, Evan Parker and Jonny Greenwood, often on stage together.
Jenny is currently managing the hub’s UK Festivals Online project, and is busy working up our live event plans for 2008 and beyond. Rumour has it these will include lots of brass bands…really!
