The Stoller Hall is a grassroots music venue in Manchester city centre (Victoria), Manchester with seating for about 482. It books Classical, Folk, Jazz, Contemporary, Spoken word, Comedy.
Listing notesThe Stoller Hall is a RIBA award-winning concert hall in the heart of Manchester, part of Chetham's School of Music and sitting right next to Manchester Victoria station. Opened in April 2017, it was designed by Stephenson Studio as a "box within a box" with variable acoustics engineered by Arup, giving it some of the city's finest sound. The flexible auditorium seats up to 482 across stalls, balcony and gallery, and runs a year-round programme spanning classical, chamber, folk, jazz, contemporary music, spoken word and comedy — including free Friday Night Jazz every Friday from 5pm and early-evening Rush Hour concerts. This is a professional, fully-equipped concert venue rather than a grassroots BYO room.
