It has been a source of great joy to welcome larger audiences back to Wigmore Hall since early September. Thanks to the generosity and kindness of our supporters, our diverse concert and learning programme continues to enrich the lives of audiences in the Hall and online. Your support also enables us to help musicians, who lost so much due to COVID-19, get back on their feet, although many of them still carry a heavy burden. The Hall continues to face challenges and rebuilding audiences to full capacity is going to be an uphill battle. Audiences are returning slowly; sometimes the Hall is completely full, but in September we averaged only 50% of capacity. This was to be expected as many remain cautious. Attendance has since greatly improved, but your ongoing generosity enables us to plan for the long term and to inspire the concert seasons ahead. We cannot allow what was a thriving programme at the forefront of the chamber music world to be diminished. There are many ways to support the Hall as we navigate this critical period, whether it be through our Friends, our invaluable Audience Fund, or by contributing to our newly launched Wigmore Ensemble which we set up specifically to help us on the road to recovery. Please continue to give as much as you can. It is making all the difference to the artists as they build up work commitments, to audiences in the Hall and to audiences watching from home. I take encouragement from the fact that the pandemic caused many people to reflect on just how important the arts and music are in our lives and the scale of what could be lost without adequate support, and I am filled with gratitude when I think about everything you do for Wigmore Hall in these times of particular difficulty. Your generosity gives us hope, a precious thing for musicians and audiences worldwide. I look forward to welcoming to you to a Wigmore Hall event, either online or in person as the season continues.
