The Stoller Hall

The baby in the family of Manchester’s classically-inclined concert halls, The Stoller Hall opened its doors in April 2017 to further enhance the city’s already enviable live music provision. Situated next to Victoria Station, the venue is part of Chetham’s School of Music, the UK’s largest specialist music school and the only one based in the North of England. It is a high-spec, flexible auditorium that can seat up to 482 concert-goers in the stalls, balcony and gallery.

This (relatively speaking) intimate concert hall has world-class acoustics, with a wide-ranging programme that takes in everything from classical, chamber, folk and jazz to more contemporary music and spoken word and comedy events. Since opening, the venue has hosted everything from Manchester Collective to Joan As Police Woman and has cemented itself as one of our favourite music venues in Manchester.
