Description
Discreetly nestled in central London, Wigmore Hall is one of the world’s great concert venues and is entering its 125th Season this autumn.
The Hall is more than a venue, it is where audiences, artists and communities connect. In this anniversary year, we will celebrate all that Wigmore Hall has to offer with behind-the-scenes insights, artist conversations and discoveries from the archive.
With new episodes every month, we’ll talk to musicians about what makes Wigmore Hall so special and how it has come to stand at the heart of the UK’s musical landscape. We will be exploring the Hall’s storied history, established and brand-new repertoire, music's place in society, and much more.

In October’s podcast episode, Dr Leah Broad, Dr Natasha Loges and mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately discuss the life and music of British composer and violist Rebecca Clarke ahead of a Focus Day at Wigmore Hall this November.
One of the most important composers of her generation, Clarke created around 100 works, but only 20 of these were published in her lifetime. Leah, Natasha and Kitty introduce Clarke in the context of music-making in Britain at the start of the 20th century, discussing her life, compositions, and performance career. The trio look ahead to Saturday 8 November 2025, an exciting day of four events to celebrate the centenary of Clarke's major 1925 recital at the Hall, as well as a new recording by Kitty Whately, tenor Nicholas Phan and pianist Anna Tilbrook of Clarke’s complete songs, which will be released on 7 November 2025.
In the first podcast episode of the season, Ian Skelly talks to Wigmore Hall’s Composer in Residence for 2025/26, Thomas Larcher.
Born in Innsbruck in 1963, Austrian composer Thomas Larcher is a leading voice in contemporary classical music. Since becoming one of the first composers to grace Wigmore Hall’s ongoing series of commissions in 2007, he has beguiled audiences with some of the finest works of contemporary chamber music and song. His residency at the Hall promises to show why his music has been described by The Times as ‘one of this century’s wonders’.
On International Women's Day, our Archivist Emily Woolf explores the trailblazing, influential, unpredictable, and occasionally outrageous women in Wigmore Hall's history.
From Ethel Smyth to Ellen Terry, Yvette Guilbert to Yvonne Arnaud - not to mention dancers, lecturers and the occasional psychic - hear their stories, their words and music, and discover their place in the story of the Hall.
