Early Music at Wigmore Hall

Wigmore Hall, one of the world’s great concert halls, specialises in chamber and instrumental music, early music and song.

With a musical history stretching back to 1901, Wigmore Hall is today livelier than ever, offering music making of outstanding quality and a wide range of events in the community. With its vibrant sense of adventure, the Hall consistently captures the public imagination and broadens its audiences’ horizons.

Wigmore Hall’s focus is on great musical works, best experienced with a powerful sense of immediacy. The repertoire extends from the Renaissance to contemporary jazz and new commissions from today’s most exciting composers. The early music provision at Wigmore Hall is flourishing in this Autumn 2024/25 Season.

Bringing this music to life are the world’s most sought-after soloists and chamber musicians. Wigmore Hall also provides a showcase for exceptional young artists — many making their professional London debuts — and remains an essential platform as their careers flourish.

Discreetly nestled in central London, the Hall – renowned for its intimacy, crystalline acoustic and beautiful interior, complete with an Arts and Crafts cupola above the stage – 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.
