Nils Mönkemeyer live in London

Experience Nils Mönkemeyer live on November 1st

Nils Mönkemeyer, a German violist renowned for his expressive and technically assured performances, will present a recital at Wigmore Hall on November 1st, 2026. Mönkemeyer’s playing is characterized by a rich tonal palette and a repertoire spanning from the Baroque period to contemporary compositions, frequently showcasing both established works and lesser-known pieces by composers like Hindemith and Enescu. He is particularly noted for championing the viola as a solo instrument, moving beyond its traditionally accompanying role.

Wigmore Hall, located in central London, holds a distinguished position within the international classical music landscape. Opened in 1901, it was originally designed as a private salon for the Bechstein piano company, intended to showcase their instruments. Unlike larger concert venues, Wigmore Hall’s relatively intimate size – seating approximately 544 – contributes to its exceptional acoustics and creates a close connection between performers and audience. It quickly evolved into a respected platform for chamber music and song recitals. Throughout its history, the hall has hosted performances by numerous celebrated musicians and remains independent of any resident orchestra or opera company; its programming is entirely curated through artistic merit and quality.
