Apartment House live in London

Experience Apartment House live on December 22nd

Apartment House, a British ensemble founded in 1991, will perform at Wigmore Hall on December 22, 2026. The group is recognised for its interpretations of 20th and 21st-century repertoire, particularly focusing on composers such as Helmut Lachenmann, Brian Ferneyhough, and Iannis Xenakis. Their performances are characterised by a commitment to precision, textural exploration and a distinctive sonic palette often described as intensely focused and dramatically nuanced. They frequently commission new works and engage with experimental musical practices.

Wigmore Hall, located in central London, holds a significant place in the history of chamber music. Opened in 1901, it was originally designed as a private salon for the Bechstein piano company to showcase its instruments. It quickly became renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere. Unlike larger concert halls, Wigmore Hall prioritises recital performance; it has hosted virtually every major classical musician since its inception. The hall is notable for being independently funded – receiving no public subsidy – and maintaining a strong focus on artistic quality and preservation of its original character. It is considered one of the world’s leading centres for song and chamber music.
