The industrial architecture of the
Queen Elizabeth Hall (and the smaller Purcell Room which is part of the
same building) isn't much liked, but the hall is comfortable and has an
acoustic which is pleasantly warm if less detailed than the Royal
Festival Hall. Normally the QEH is used for smaller orchestras or
chamber music concerts, but while the RFH is closed for a major
makeover the QEH is home to several of the leading orchestras.
