Wigmore Hall was built in 1901 by the German piano firm Bechstein next to its showrooms on Wigmore Street. The Hall was intended to provide a venue both grandly impressive and yet intimate enough for recitals. It has always been important for artists giving their London debuts, but it is also a cherished venue for major international artists and their capacity audiences, and now presents 400 concerts a year.

Wigmore Hall London Reviews


chamber music heaven - I have been a devoted fan of this place for the last 15 years and quite simply can't imagine living without it.It is THE best place for chamber music with superb acoustics and a warm atmosphere.Particularly good for showcasing young up and coming rising stars of the chamber music scene , but with well established musicians also regularly returning.Recently introduced some jazz slots as well.
For those who are not sure whether chamber music is quite their thing [or who have a short attention span]the Sunday morning coffee concerts are to be recommended[coffee,sherry or juice comes with the ticket]or possibly the Monday lunchtime concert[always broadcast on Radio 3]. These are both 1 hour long.
The restaurant downstairs is good for a pre- concert meal,although wine by the glass is pricey.

soprano. unplugged - Love W Hall, it's a quirky old place but probably the only place in London where you can hear A-list sopranos close-range and acoustic.

Magic :-)

Music that moves you - The Hall has the best acoustics in London for chamber music and solo voices. If you're thinking of striking a conversation with any of the regular concertgoers do ensure that you don't drop your Hs and Ts. It pays to be articulate for this is a posh place hallowed by posh people.

By 'eck! Sod them anyway, go and enjoy the beautiful music.
