There is sweet music here: the world of Wigmore Hall
by Julia Boyd
On the shelf? Just pop in.
Wigmore Hall does not boast a grand façade, but behind it lies something extraordinary: one of the world's most beloved concert halls, within whose walls we find exceptional performers, composers, impresarios and, of course, audiences. The story of Wigmore Hall is the story of music in the 20th and 21st centuries - and of London itself. In this book, Julia Boyd digs deep into the Hall's rich history to uncover the secrets of its success.
