Join the Bloomsbury Quartet for a low stimulus performance as part of Wigmore Hall's Imagine Series. The ensemble will perform a programme without sudden or loud volume in this informal concert, featuring pieces by Rebecca Clarke and Arvo Pärt.
The concert will benefit from natural daylight through Wigmore Hall’s frosted glass ceiling, and all other lighting in the auditorium itself will be kept low. Announcements will be kept to a minimum and there will be a quiet space in the Bechstein Room. Audiences may leave and re-enter when needed. Hand dryers in the toilets will be switched off and paper towels available instead.
Low stimulus performances may benefit those who prefer a quieter environment and some neurodivergent people.
