The Arts Concert Hall

Concert Hall
Millfield Concert Hall is a significant venue for the performing arts much more than just a school hall. The acoustic of the hall is designed primarily for classical music performance and is adjustable with the use of motorised drapes. The stage offers a large performance area on a solid oak floor and is enhanced by a visual design based around the wooden acoustic treatment. A comprehensive system of lighting has been installed offering a dynamic environment ranging from basic house lighting to elaborate theatrical effects. A PA system complements this along with help for the hearing impaired. The Foyer is used both in the traditional way for events and also as a rehearsal space during the school day.
The London Chamber Orchestra concert held on June 19th 2007 celebrated the completion of several years of design and construction, the hall being part of a large music facility. The building as a whole divides into three segments Concert Hall, Music School and Studio Suite. Elaborate sound insulation has been a major factor in the design along with provision of practice and teaching facilities second to none, including six classrooms and twenty-two practice rooms. Studio facilities can be linked to the Concert Hall and together they form a superb performance and recording space.
