Henry Wood Hall, Glasgow

Henry Wood Hall

The Henry Wood Hall in Glasgow is located in the city's fashionable West End. The building, a former Congregational church, is a distinctive feature on the landscape with its Gothic Victorian spire.

The hall is the main base, rehearsal and recording studio for the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scotland's national symphony orchestra, for over thirty years, though most performances in the city now take place in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

The orchestra originally played in the city's St. Andrew's Hall, until the hall was destroyed by fire in 1962, then the SNO played in a series of venues of varying suitability. Finally in 1979, the redesign of the Trinity Church in Claremont Street gave the SNO a permanent home of its own: the SNO Centre and Sir Henry Wood Hall.[1]
