The University of Birmingham opened a concert, conference, meetings and events venue, The Bramall Music Building, on 10th June. Featuring the 450-seat Elgar Concert Hall, the £18m facility finally completes a semi-circle of buildings around Chancellor’s Court, with the Great Hall at its centre, that effectively took more than a century to build. The Bramall Music Building has both a moveable stage and seating, as well as meeting rooms and a foyer capable of hosting gatherings. The June date marks the site’s soft launch; officially, it will be launched in November.
