Cadogan Hall is the venue for the Proms Chamber Music Series.
The Proms Chamber Music series - now in its 13th year - returns to Cadogan Hall in the heart of Chelsea. The more intimate setting in one of London's newest concert halls promises to bring a different perspective to many of this year's anniversary composers. There's Vaughan Williams from Mark Padmore and the Nash Ensemble, and Messiaen from Gweneth-Ann Jeffers and Pierre-Laurent Aimard, who will also bring music by Elliott Carter. Julia Fischer and Yakov Kreizberg (who will also be appearing together at the Royal Albert Hall this season) bring a programme of Grieg and Tchaikovsky. There's music from earlier ages from Jordi Savall, Christophe Rousset and I Fagiolini, and the series ends with a varied programme from Radio 3 New Generation Artists Elizabeth Watts and the Aronowitz Ensemble, including the world premiere of a new commission by Huw Watkins.
The Hall is a work of art in its own right. Completed in 1907 as a Christian Science church, it was designed by Robert Fellowes Chisholm, who had been the British Government's consultant architect in India. Chisholm filled the Hall with a dramatic mixture of Byzantine, Romanesque and Indo-Saracenic elements. In addition, a Danish nobleman, Baron von Rosenkrantz, who was a designer for Tiffany in New York, devised stained glass throughout the building drawn from variations on a Celtic knot theme.
