The Tung Auditorium, located within Liverpool’s Central Library, is a relatively new concert venue opened in May 2023 following a significant restoration project. Originally built as the Picton Reading Room in 1879, the space was designed by John Grey West and features a stunning Victorian Gothic interior. The restoration, led by Austin Smith:Lord Cultural Enterprises, aimed to transform the room into a world-class performance space while preserving its historical character. Acoustically tuned for optimal sound quality, The Tung Auditorium accommodates a diverse range of performances including classical music, contemporary works, and cross-arts collaborations. It’s named in honour of philanthropist Sir David Tung who contributed to the restoration fund. The venue represents a key element in Liverpool’s cultural offering and aims to attract national and international artists.
