The Queen's Hall was originally known as Hope Park Chapel. It was built in 1823 and converted into a live music venue in 1979, with many of the original Georgian features retained. It has a beautiful auditorium with excellent acoustics which seats nine hundred people. The Queen's hall is the home of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, but during their busy touring schedule the hall also plays host to a wide variety of classical, jazz, blues, pop, rock, world, folk and comedy performances. It is also one of the main venues for the Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival. Whether it be a string quartet, a full orchestra, or a rock band, the Queen's Hall is a great venue for live music.
