Wiltshire Music Centre
Type: Music Hall
Wiltshire Music Centre is a purpose-built, 300-seat concert hall which attracts internationally-renowned musicians, including the City of London Sinfonia, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, jazz legend Courtney Pine and famed guitarist John Williams. It hosts more than 90 concerts a year which feature world-class classical, folk, jazz and world music artists.
Six family concerts are given by award-winning musicians with a love of teaching. The Centre has been praised by BBC Radio 3’s Sean Rafferty for having 'the finest acoustic outside London'. It has also hosted BBC Radio 4’s weekly topical live panel show Any Questions with Jonathan Dimbleby. The Centre’s auditorium and two large meeting rooms are for hire. A remote-controlled screen and Mackie PA system with support from the Venue Technician are also available.
