In this month’s podcast episode, Steinway & Sons’ Director of Concert and Artists services Ulrich Gerhartz introduces the pianos of Wigmore Hall.  

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.  

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.
