Reid Concert Hall, Concert hall in City of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The Reid Concert Hall accommodates 218 seats within its rectangular sandstone structure, featuring large sash windows and an ornate neoclassical ceiling design.
General John Reid, an army officer and musician, established the foundation for this concert hall, which opened its doors in 1859 as part of Edinburgh University.
The venue maintains two Steinway D concert grand pianos, a harpsichord, and an organ, hosting regular performances by university students and professional musicians.
The Reid Concert Hall requires advance booking through different channels: university staff contact the Concert Secretary, while external requests go through Edinburgh Hospitality.
The North Room contains the John Donaldson Collection of Musical Instruments, forming one of Europe's earliest purpose-built musical instrument museums.
