Recital Hall

The intimate Recital Hall has a variable acoustic and is a flexible space with a floor-level stage area. A bleacher seating rake of 146 capacity can be extended for concert set-up, or fully retracted underneath a small technical balcony for other seating and event set-ups including cabaret and theatre style.

As with our larger Bradshaw Hall, attention has been paid to every detail in the design of the hall to optimise the experience of both audiences and performers – from the acoustics to the colour scheme of the interior fit-out and from performance lighting to technical capabilities.

The hall is serviced by an extensive back-of-house area with soloist and green rooms and access to our spacious atrium and foyer, and also our range of performance studios and function rooms when the venue is booked as part of a larger event.

State-of-the-art technical facilities include a Meyer PA system, 10.2 surround sound, Dante audio network for flexible location recording purposes, SSL L300 sound desk with 24 mic channels (maximum I/O 568 in/out 600 with Dante), comprehensive LED performance lighting, laser projector and screen with wireless presentation connectivity, and a fixed truss grid over stage area for ease when supplementing the hall with additional equipment. Equipped with a Steinway model D concert grand piano, there is also a wide range of other instruments and equipment available for hire.
