Wigmore Hall
36 Wigmore Street, London W1

This concert hall for chamber music was designed in 1900 by T E Collcutt, the architect of the Savoy Hotel, for Friedrich Bechstein, a German piano manufacturer.  The area was in the centre of London's piano trade and the concert hall, called Bechstein Hall, was attached to the Bechstein showroom.

During World War I the hall was seized as enemy property and opened as the Wigmore Hall in 1917.

Today the Wigmore Hall retains its old-fashioned atmosphere, with an intimate auditorium that is beautifully decorated and features a superb cupola over the stage depicting the Soul of Music. 

The Wigmore Hall is famous for the very high standard of its concerts and recitals, and has a low priced series of concerts that are recorded for the BBC.

The 400 concerts a year often feature major international artists.
