Jean-Guihen Queyras live in London

Experience Jean-Guihen Queyras live on September 12th

Jean-Guihen Queyras will perform at Wigmore Hall in London on September 12, 2026. Queyras is a French cellist internationally recognised for his insightful interpretations and technical mastery. His playing is often described as possessing a lyrical quality combined with rhythmic precision, demonstrating a notable clarity of tone and a willingness to explore diverse repertoire – spanning Baroque, Classical, Romantic and contemporary works. He frequently collaborates with leading orchestras and chamber ensembles, and is known for his commitment to both established masterpieces and lesser-known compositions.

Wigmore Hall holds a significant place in London’s cultural landscape. Opened in 1901, it was originally designed as a private concert hall for the Bechstein piano company, aiming to showcase their instruments. It quickly became renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate setting – seating approximately 544 people. Unlike many larger venues, Wigmore Hall maintains a strong focus on chamber music, song recitals and solo performances. It has hosted virtually every major classical musician of the 20th and 21st centuries and remains highly respected as a venue dedicated to musical excellence rather than grand spectacle.
