Experience Isabelle Faust live on September 7th

Isabelle Faust will perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London on September 7, 2026. Faust is a German violinist renowned for her historically informed performances and insightful interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works. Her playing is characterized by clarity, refined technique, and a dedication to exploring the context surrounding the music she performs, often utilizing period instruments or informed bowings to reflect composers’ original intentions. She frequently engages with contemporary composers, commissioning new works and expanding the violin repertoire.

The Royal Albert Hall opened in 1871 and was originally built to commemorate Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband. Designed by Captain Francis Fowke and Henry Scott Stokes, it's a Grade I listed building celebrated for its distinctive circular design and exceptional acoustics. The Hall has hosted a diverse range of events throughout its history, including classical concerts, film screenings, sporting events, and political rallies. Its capacity is approximately 5,234 seats. It remains a prominent venue for the BBC Proms festival each summer, a tradition dating back to 1924. The hall underwent significant refurbishment between 2017-2024 to improve facilities while preserving its historical character.
