The Stoller Hall

About

The Stoller Hall is a beautiful and modern concert hall, designed by Stephenson Studio with acoustics by Arup. It has been engineered to provide a unique immersive experience. Designed as a box within a box, the performance space has very low noise levels and a variable acoustic system, meaning audiences can truly hear and feel the music. There are regular performances by Chetham’s School of Music students – regular free lunchtime concerts are open to all, giving you the chance to witness some of the most talented young musicians in the UK. There’s also a programme for professional touring artists that embraces classical and contemporary music, comedy and spoken word. There’s something for everyone at The Stoller Hall. Get closer to the sounds you love in a unique setting or discover something new. Find out what's on via their website.

CHETHAM'S SCHOOL OF MUSIC

The thriving creative community at Chetham’s consists of around 300 students aged 8-18 whose common passion is music. Entry to the School is based solely on musical ability and potential, never on background or ability to pay, thanks to generous bursaries through the Government’s Music and Dance Scheme. This common bond of musical passion makes for a truly inspirational place that has the power to transform the lives of all who are part of it.

Former students include pianists Stephen Hough, Paul Lewis and Peter Donohoe, cellist Guy Johnston, violinist Jennifer Pike, conductor Daniel Harding, cellist Matthew Bailey, jazz pianist Gwilym Simcock, DJ Sam Shepherd, aka ‘Floating Points’, actor - and former Jamiroquai drummer – Max Beesley, and Roger Wright, Chief Executive of Aldeburgh Music. Since 2008, around a third of the semi-finalists at each BBC Young Musician of the Year competition have been Chetham’s students.
