Wigmore Hall

About Wigmore Hall

With a musical history stretching back to 1901, Wigmore Hall is today livelier than ever, offering outstanding concerts and a wide range of events in the community. Discreetly nestled in central London, the Hall has a capacity of 552 seats but draws in audiences from far and wide through its enterprising use of digital media and its ambitious Learning programme. Wigmore Hall’s reach goes beyond concert audiences and includes schools, nurseries, hospitals, community centres and care homes. The Wigmore Hall Trust purchased the building’s long-term lease in 2005, securing Wigmore Hall’s future as a leading recital venue. The latest development also hailed a new era of international access to some of its many recitals and events through live streaming, enabling more people than ever to experience some of the variety of its concert programme and Learning events. The Hall also enjoys a fruitful relationship with BBC Radio 3, with regular live broadcasts on the station. Since 2005, the Hall has grown attendance across its entire programme by over 60 per cent. All in all, it now presents around 500 concerts and 500 Learning events every year, selling a total of 200,000 tickets. Blending heritage, artistic ambition, and inclusivity, Wigmore Hall concerts stand at the heart of the UK’s musical landscape. A place where tradition and innovation meet, the Hall continues to shape the future of chamber music and song, championing both revered masterpieces and bold new commissions. More than a venue, Wigmore Hall is where audiences, artists, and communities connect - whether in the intimacy of the auditorium, through pioneering digital broadcasts, or via inspiring Learning events. Through this work, Wigmore Hall concerts uphold a legacy of excellence, ensuring that world-class music is more alive than ever, relevant, and accessible to all.
