After London’s Wigmore Hall lost funding from the Arts Council England WH chief John Gilhooly has raised £10 million in private donations, enabling him to declare independence.

He says: « This landmark anniversary season celebrates Wigmore Hall’s heritage whilst looking firmly to the future. The financial security provided by the Director’s Fund will allow us to remain artistically ambitious for years to come, ensuring that Wigmore Hall continues to be a vital and independent force in the musical life of the UK and beyond. We are deeply grateful to music lovers at home and abroad who so faithfully support our work. »
