At B:Music, the Production team plays a vital role in bringing live events to life at Town Hall and Symphony Hall. Working behind the scenes, they ensure that every performance runs smoothly, from large-scale concerts to one-night touring shows and conferences. Their work blends technical planning, coordination and creative problem-solving, making them central to the audience experience, even if they’re rarely seen.

Production Coordinators are often the first point of contact for visiting artists and their teams. They manage everything from technical requirements and staffing to scheduling and logistics, ensuring that every detail is in place. As Jade explains, this can range from organising stage and lighting setups to confirming practical details like dressing rooms and arrival times. She describes the most rewarding part of the role as watching a full production come together and seeing audiences enjoy the result, saying that bringing joy to others “will never not be rewarding”.

For Production Manager Jake, the variety of the role is what stands out most. “No two days are the same,” he says, noting that he might work on a pop show, orchestral performance or formal event all in the same week. This fast pace is driven by the number of touring productions passing through B:Music venues, offering constant opportunities to adapt and learn. One highlight for Jake was working on Christine and the Queens in 2023, where a complex show was successfully adapted for Symphony Hall in just a week.

The team also benefits from extensive experience. Production Manager Des brings more than 20 years in live events and has worked on everything from intimate gigs to major productions. His passion for music continues to shape his work, and he emphasises that there is always more to learn in the industry.

Across the team, there is a shared focus on collaboration, adaptability and enthusiasm for live performance. Whether supporting established artists or helping new talent find a platform, the B:Music production team ensures that every event meets the highest standard, making each performance possible long before the audience takes their seat.
