School of Music Concert Hall

This has to be one of the most hidden music venues in Cardiff! Blink and you’ll miss it!
Cardiff University School of Music has a full size concert hall, complete with foyer and bar. I know, who’d have thought eh?
If you check out the schools website it should give you a full listing of the concert programme for this year, or you can contact the department and ask to be sent a programme in the post. Previous programmes have included not just classical chamber music, but Jazz, world music and traditional music.
One highlight of my experiences there was the fabulous Ali Jihad Racy, and Arabic musician from America. For those interested, there is often a pre-​concert talk, as well as full programme notes in a small leaflet.
Adjoining the concert hall is the foyer, with ticket office, bar with interval drinks and lavatories. Everything you’d expect from a concert hall really.
The concert hall is available to hire for a fee and was purpose built for concerts and music and has acoustic designs accordingly. Plus an amazing array of instruments including a full size pipe organ.
Have a bit of a look — you never know!
