Kings Place opens its doors with 5 days of music for all, beginning with 100 metronomes resonating throughout the Atrium at 9am on 1 October.

Kings Place is a new culture and arts centre in London. The venue will host an exciting new programme of music, painting and sculpture from around the world.

From the avid concert-goer to musical novice, there will be something for everyone as performers take to the stage from 9.30am to midnight for 5 days running.
String ensembles, jazz combos, singers and musicians will fill the halls of Kings Place with music and creativity. After the launch, the cultural events will continue with an exciting programme of concerts already planned.

Highlights of the Kings Place opening festival include:

• The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment


• London Chamber Music Society


• The Classical Opera Company


• Jazz from the F-IRE Collective

Kings Place houses the first new public concert hall to be built in central London since the completion of the Barbican Concert Hall in 1982. It's part of the large regeneration project currently happening in King's Cross.

The space also includes a new 60-seat atrium café Green & Fortune, and the Rotunda Bar which overlooks the waterfront.
