Wigmore Hall, Concert hall in Westminster, London, United Kingdom
Wigmore Hall is a concert venue in Westminster with a rectangular layout, marble walls and alabaster accents beneath a painted cupola showing musical motifs. The raised stage offers space for chamber music and solo performances in an intimate setting.
German piano maker Bechstein built the hall in 1901 to showcase his instruments to London audiences. During the First World War the building was auctioned and received its current name after the adjacent street.
The hall takes its name from Wigmore Street and serves as a place where chamber musicians and soloists perform in close contact with listeners. Many young artists make early career appearances here and return years later after gaining recognition abroad.
The hall seats 545 people and offers reduced tickets for visitors under 35 while guests younger than 26 enter free. Most concerts take place in the evening with some weekend matinees also scheduled.
The hall is often used for studio recordings because its acoustics carry instruments clearly without artificial amplification. Many commercial classical recordings are made here during regular concerts or in dedicated recording sessions.
