Wigmore Hall

Local Data Company says about Wigmore Hall

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.
